It looks like it''s been a bit more than two months since http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs.git;a=summary saw patches from the list.

That link points to the kernel module integration branches, and the link above that on the wiki page about btrfs-progs integration hasn''t had commits in the last 6 months, AFAICT. I''ve been concerned about the status btrfs-progs maintenance myself. I''ve seen quite a few obvious bugs about btrfs-progs on this list in the past months—most of them with patches. However, I don''t see them enter any upstream git repositories.

I''ve been a combination of ill and busy (mostly busy) for the last umpteen months, which is why the integration repo hasn''t been updated. The main -progs repo doesn''t get a whole lot of love, even when I''ve managed to do an integration run and hold it together for long enough for Chris to pick it up. Patches do eventually get in, but it''s usually on a 6+-month cycle.

I was asking because it''s pretty annoying to go through patchwork to see if someone else has already fixed bugs in the git tree. This happened to me when our distro package infrastructure freaked out at btrfs-progs (-fno-strict-aliasing, int/ptr differences, static code analysis lighting up a like a christmas tree). Would it be fair to say that the project is accepting applications for an active btrfs-progs maintainer? :) - z -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
