Distributions quote of the week

There is upstreaming and uprevving. Uprevving is where you take your patches and rebase them on top of the latest kernel.

They're basically saying that after three years it's too overwhelming to uprev it. It would have been better to uprev it after every -rc1 release. Maybe they didn't have the man power to do that, but it's the easier way. If you wait for three years between uprevs it's always going to be seriously painful.

The Raspberry PI devs really do a good job about uprevving. There are probably other people you could work with who might be able to help. Where it's like after ever -rc release they're uprevving their stuff so you probably all have the same questions.
