No I didn't have a road accident. I was refferring to the pace of the linux kernel development. So the bitkeeper event didn't slow it down, and moving to git didn't either.
Instead they are churning out code faster. The breakages are being resolved one by one, and there are a lot of exciting experiments going on. But the sad fact remains that none of these kernels have proven reliable for me.
Vanilla contains many bugs, known and fixed in mm. mm is too experimental. ck just doesn't cut it on my 800Mhz ( to my limited understanding, staircase needs more speed to work correctly). and then the myriad of *-sources are either too broken or too limited to be an option.
So I end up where I started, vanilla too limited and buggy, and anything else is (to different extents) broken.
I have made a great many bugfixes, improvements and enhancements, but now I wait for this critical part of the system to settle down. I keep getting excited about releasing a bugfix release, then stop short due to kernel issues.
I hope this changes soon.
In other news, my website was knocked offline for almost four days, due to exceeding bandwidth limit. This could be good, as a sign of increasing popularity, then again maybe not.
