[$] A policy for Link tags

1 hónap 2 hét óta
The Git source-code management system stores a lot of information about changes to code — but it does not hold everything that might be of interest to a developer who needs to investigate a specific change in the future. Commits in a repository are the end result of a (sometimes extended) discussion; often, that discussion will result in changes to the code that are not explained in the changelog. For some years now, many maintainers have followed the convention of applying a Link tag to commits that points back to the mailing-list posting of the change. Linus Torvalds has been expressing his dislike for this convention for a while, though, and its time appears to be coming to an end.

How FOSS Projects Handle Legal Takedown Requests (F-Droid)

1 hónap 2 hét óta
The F-Droid project has some advice for free-software projects on how to deal with takedown requests.

As part of our legal resilience research, we spoke with a range of legal experts, software freedom advocates, and maintainers of mature FOSS infrastructure to understand how others manage these moments. In this article, we share what we learned, and how F-Droid is incorporating these lessons into its own approach.

[$] How many ways are there to configure the Linux kernel?

1 hónap 2 hét óta

There are a large number of ways to configure the 6.16 Linux kernel. It has 32,468 different configuration options on x86_64, and a comparable number for other platforms. Exploring the ways the kernel can be configured is sufficiently difficult that it requires specialized tools. These show the number of possible configurations that options can be combined in has 6,550 digits. How has that number changed over the history of the kernel, and what does it mean for testing?
