kbuild 2.5 is ready for inclusion in the 2.5 kernel - take 3
OTOH, those of us who are not looking forward to kbuild 2.5 are grateful for any delays we can get.

Third and final attempt. Original sent on May 2, second mail sent on May 14, still no response from Linus.
Linus is a bastard. Did you forget?
This is getting ridiculous all right.
Linus, what makes you ignore Keith's work?
Would you tend to think he's worked on kbuild25 this long to end up having to send a linus-dammit-would-you-have- -a-look-at-last-i'm-not-going-to-keep-asking-forever msg?
Sorry for a slightly offensive post; I can't stand to see such impoliteness.

...and what would your beefs (beeves?) with kbuild-2.5 be? I searched the archives for the last 12 months and I don't see anythinng from you relevant to kbuild-2.5. Keith has been addressing concerns quite regularly; I should think if you have constructive comments, he'd surely listen.
You *do* have constructive comments, right?

I have not seen much complaints over kbuild-2.5, and what I have seen (i.e. it was slower) Keith has done a very good job of addressing (i.e. now it is faster). Whatever items come up in the future, I suspect Keith is committed to fixing. Right now, however, it is certainly hard for him to maintain kbuild-2.5 against a moving kernel tree and work on new features. Keith knows I will stop sending him Christmas cards if kbuild-2.5 was merged and he did not follow up on issues - I suspect that will not happen. :)
Fwiw, I like kbuild-2.5 and want it in.

Probably not. Like most of the noise on lkml these days, non-developers seem to have an opinion on everything yet offer little value. Code talks and ...
