Thanks to everyone for their responses. I think we can safely conclude that the body of opinion is that its not appropriate for kexec-tools to be included in the kernel tree. Primarily because it isn't tied closely to the kernel ABI. As such I withdraw this proposal. Thanks in particular to those who offered ideas on how to resolve some of the problems that kexec-tools faces. Lets make those ideas happen. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
