And even *more* importantly, note that when downloading a -mm or -rc3 patch, there's minimal server overhead - it opens *one* file and streams it to the FTP connection. sendfile() anybody? ;) How many open/close/etc are needed to sync up 2 'git' mirrors? I don't care *how* stupendous git/mercurial/whatever are, they're going to have a *really* hard time getting down to the overhead of an FTP session sending a .bz2 file. Unless of course, there's only me and a dozen other people even *trying* -mm kernels and the distinction is lost in the noise... (Out of curiosity, how many downloads *DO* the -mm kernels get? I know Linus and Andrew want more testing.. let's keep that in mind here.. ;) --==_Exmh_1115047685_5213P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFCdkcFcC3lWbTT17ARAuQNAKDLsSdO4gqooCpWfWHHHdlCF5Dc6ACg6hgF P0FBZ6rzpmvFItCA6qMPU5s= =1cCw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1115047685_5213P-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
