User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2 (X11/20050317) X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: Linux drivers management Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 698 Lines: 18 Dear maintainers, Is there any work in Linux undergoing to separate Linux drivers and the the main kernel, and manage drivers using a package management system that only manages kernel drivers and modules? If this can be done, the kernel maintenance can be simple, and will end-up with a more stable (less frequent changed) kernel API for drivers, also make every developers of drivers happy. Would like to see that happens . regards, David Chow - 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/
