It takes 1 minute and 9.5 seconds. >So the distributed maintainer information does not scale well at all. No it doesn't. It allows you to search for files of a specific naming pattern and greps those. So if you needed to know the maintainers of all the config.in files, you say: find . -name "*onfig.in" -type f -print | xargs grep 'P: ' If you need to know the maintainer(s) of a specific file or directory of files, simply direct your search there. The only problem occurs when you really don't know where to look - so then you search the entire kernel for the configuration option, and look wherever you find that. I really don't see the problem. -------------------------------------------------------------- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: chromi@cyberspace.org (not for attachments) big-mail: chromatix@penguinpowered.com uni-mail: j.d.morton@lancaster.ac.uk The key to knowledge is not to rely on people to teach you it.
