LKML addicts: what happened to -mm patch?

bangkok_manouel · 2009-02-03 03:21:43

Hi Archers,

Any LKML reader (I'm not) has any idea why the latest -mm patch is so outdated?

Disclaimer: I tried to STFW but any search including -mm patch will bring you half the internets as a result.

TIA

I like the green mm's

Maybe -next made it obsolete?

thanks lucke, didnt find any "official replacement annoucement" but the -next tree has been described as "Andrew's dream" so it looks like you may be right. in any case, -next seems to be a nice new toy.

/edit: anyone using it? any feedback?

-mm isn't that old, I bet the patches will still apply to 2.6.28.5: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ … 8-rc2-mm1/
