Linux creator The latest update from Linus Torvalds (opens in a new tab)which contains some key information regarding the first release candidate of version 6.1, includes some basic messages and requests for the project developers.
He opens by saying that “we have” only “11.5 thousand. unmerged commits in this merge window, compared to 13.5k last time “, which is” not exactly small, but smaller than the last few releases. “
We’ve already written about Linux’s commitment to supporting Rust, and the latest news confirms that the “initial Rust scaffold” is part of the 6.1-rc1 release. He explains that “there is no real Rust code in the kernel yet, but the infrastructure already exists.”
Torvalds’ message to programmers
Torvalds also took the opportunity to express his frustration at the amount of delayed download requests.
He says, “Yes, the merge window is two weeks, but it’s a long time to give me time to go over things, not ‘two weeks to hurriedly assemble the branch you send to Linus on Friday of Week Two.”
In fact, his excavations with the developers of the project continue: “All night” to get the newspaper the day before [deadline]’is something that should disappear through the window after high school. Not for the development of the testicle. “
The teacher-student threat continues: “You know who you are.”
By asking for things to be sent to him before opening the merge window, Torvalds expresses his tolerance for some of the late entries he attributes to “life going on.”
This isn’t the first time Torvalds has had to ask programmers to stretch out a finger, and he suspects it won’t be the last either, though he hopes “more people will take it to heart.”
