Marc-Christian Petersen kiadta a WOLK legújabb RC kiadását. A következő már a végleges lesz. O(1) sheduler és OpenMosix merge-re lesz szükség - írja Peteren.
A WOLK - Working Overloaded Linux Kernels jelentéssel bír. Ez az elnevezés nem jelent mást, mint egy Linux kernelt, nagy számú patchcsel/bugfixszel és egy rakás új funkcióval. A WOLK project keretében jelenleg mintegy 450 patch kapott helyet a Linux kernelben. A patchek nagy része évek óta stabil, rengetegen használják, és általában a kernel fejlesztők idejének hiányában nem kerültek bele a mainline kernelbe. A WOLK project ezeket a patcheket szedi össze, és összescsiszolva egy nagy patch formájában juttatja el a felhasználókhoz.
A project honlapját megtalálod itt.
Változások:Next will be final. Needs merging of O(1) Scheduler and OpenMosix.
