From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bcachefs Changes Rejected Reportedly Due To CoC, Kernel Future "Uncertain" (www.phoronix.com)

Bcachefs lead developer Kent Overstreet published a Patreon post this evening entitled "Trouble in the kernel" where he explained:

"TLDR: the future of bcachefs in the kernel is uncertain, and lots of things aren't looking good.

Linus has said he isn't accepting my 6.13 pull request, per "an open issue with the CoC board", and at this point I have no idea what's going on with the CoC board. I, for my part, have felt for quite some time that there are issues about our culture and the way we do work that need to be raised, and that hasn't been going anywhere - hence this post."

It appears that the source of this violation can be found in this Linux kernel mailing list thread.

quirky

From the little I've been reading Kent Overstreet just sounds like an incredibly arrogant developer with some talent.

It reeks of someone whose opinion of themselves exceeds their ability.

I think I worded it differently.
