Honestly no matter what your opinion of resier4 is, this patch needs to really be added. I see that amd64 has mm-sources in portage, which is a kernel from kernel.org, and it has ~amd64 KEYWORDS. The argument that we have always had was that reiser4 was not included in a kernel.org kernel. This is no longer true. Now, I can understand not *supporting* it until it hits vanilla, but we shouldn't deny adding patches that resolve issues with the FS or packages that interact with the FS just because we dislike it or don't deem the FS stable. I'd say to add the patch to grub, and if a user hoses up their system, well... they're knowingly running a very experimental kernel and an arguable file system.... they can pick up the pieces themselves. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-kWtG9I0SReV5p63WWpsj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDQS11kT4lNIS36YERAv3RAJ9xVSlqzcLV7OVAmPd8Rl3cWi1i8gCfSYcW lxMhoYN5wKix/oVocWFcEdU= =r2HX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-kWtG9I0SReV5p63WWpsj-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
