Facts people complained about included: 1. people got dropped from the list 2. messages bouncing 3. lack of (small) LVM patches to the Linux kernel 4. submitted patches being ignored WRT points 1 and 2: ------------------- our Linux LVM mailing list is now completely open in order to avoid such kind of problems in the future. We apologize for any kind of trouble this caused in the past! We kindly ask everybody to stay at or to join it in order to avoid a mailing list split. Thanks a lot! WRT point 3: ------------ we will regard the Linus kernel as *the* repository for LVM driver changes rather than our public CVS repository from now on! In order to ease this migration we are working to create a bunch of small patches to submit them to the comunity. We will announce when they are available ASAP and would appreciate if people like Alan Cox, Andrea Arcangeli and Andreas Dilger could check them *before* we start submitting them to Linus. Thanks a lot in advance for your support. WRT point 4: ------------ a lot of patches send in by the comunity have been included in the actual LVM source. We appreciate all your valuable related work! Nevertheless about 30 patches which would have changed too much have been postponed for LVM 1.1 *because* we are in a feature freeze since a couple of weeks heading to a production stable LVM 1.0. The submitters have been informed about this fact. We will make these postponed patches accessable to everybody and will discuss the status of future patches in the public on the list from now on in order to avoid any further lack of information here. None of the patches which showed up on the lvm mailing lists have been discarded without notice! General statement: ------------------ Linux LVM is a Sistina GPL project and there's no danger at all that we want to change its GPL nature! We apologize for any inconveniences and kindly ask everybody to continue to help us making a better Linux LVM. -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Heinz Mauelshagen Sistina Software Inc.
