1. Listing Moderated Mailing Lists In The MAINTAINERS File

25�Dec�2004�-�26�Dec�2004 (4 posts) Subject: "[patch] maintainers: remove moderated arm list"

Topics: MAINTAINERS File

People: Domen Puncer,�Russell King,�Alan Cox

Domen Puncer removed the ARM mailing list from the MAINTAINERS file, because it was moderated. He said, "If you are subscribed to it, you already know the address. If you are not, you probably don't want bounces." Alan Cox didn't like the patch, since he said folks would still want to know the list address so they could subscribe. Russell King also said to Domen, "I don't particularly agree with this policy of removing such documentation, especially as I have a good reason to implement such policy on my mailing lists. If we must, I guess it's fine, but I expect *you* to provide the support to people to people who don't know where to go for it if *you* remove this." Domen said the MAINTAINERS file did list a project URL; and suggested, "How about adding a new flag to MAINTAINERS (ie. "LM", for list-moderated)?" But there was no reply. It looks as though the patch will not be applied, and moderated mailing lists will continue to be included in the MAINTAINERS file.

3. Detecting udev Version In Use

29�Dec�2004 (1 post) Subject: "[PATCH] add printing of udev version to scripts/ver_linux"

Topics: FS: devfs

People: Jesper Juhl

Jesper Juhl said, "Since udev is starting to be used a lot of places and I've seen people get asked about their udev version a few times on lkml I figured it was perhaps time that scripts/ver_linux reported this info so it would get into more bugreports by default. This patch adds printing of udev version to scripts/ver_linux" . He added, "I guess it would also make sense to also add a tiny bit of text about udev to Documentation/Changes if the above goes in - if so there's a possible patch to do that below."

4. Realtime LSM
