I highly appreciate this :) 1318418062 M * Bertl we don't see a point in duplicating functionality unless there is a real need 1318418139 M * trapni yes 1318418193 M * Bertl ah, and I forgot, of course we are not tied to a company selling OS level isolation and virtualization products :) 1318418203 M * trapni Bertl: well, as those guys you mentioned seem to have lost interest, you *might* want to go for second try in getting these patches applied ;) 1318418216 M * Bertl i.e. we do not reserve the 'working' code for the 'paying' customers :) 1318418226 M * trapni Bertl: which might be good and bad. depending on your personal point of view 1318418288 M * Bertl from my personal PoV it's good .. but yes, YMMV 1318418289 M * trapni i would really recommend going the round into again, this might also give you a wider audience and more devs, too 1318418314 M * Bertl do we need more devs? 1318418364 M * daniel_hozac mainline isn't really that interesting these days. 1318418365 M * trapni maybe? 1318418387 M * trapni well, I (for my two cent) would always like to get into kernel development for example :-D 1318418390 M * Bertl I know OVZ claimed (at some point) that over 100 developers are working on their product 24/7 but we can do that in a small group with the same results 1318418419 M * trapni I don't believe that, I mean, they're not even supporting a decent recent kernel ;( 1318418466 M * Bertl regarding kernel development: feel free to join and start working on improving Linux-VServer right now ... 1318418497 M * Bertl patches are always welcome 1318418557 M * trapni is there actually any kind of development roadmap anyway? 1318418620 A * trapni afk 1318418641 M * Bertl after 10 years of development, only a few 'nice to have' features are left unimplemented 1318418676 M * Bertl so basically the development focus is on code review/cleanup/stabilization and of course, porting to recent kernels 1318425016 J * thierryp ~thierry@home.parmentelat.net 1318430986 J * dowdle ~dowdle@scott.coe.montana.edu 1318431007 J * ensc ~irc-ensc@p4FEC7821.dip.t-dialin.net 1318432049 Q * ncopa Quit: Leaving 1318433595 J * julius ~julius@217.20.127.15 1318433734 Q * kir Quit: Leaving. 1318435362 Q * julius Ping timeout: 480 seconds 1318436521 Q * thierryp Remote host closed the connection 1318437042 Q * derjohn_foo Ping timeout: 480 seconds 1318437274 M * arekm Bertl: the fix works. thanks!
