kernel.org extended outage - wait or use alternatives?
Subsystems (2)
David,
I'm a mere observer of kernel development rather than an active participant in it. My observation is that networking development has all but come to a standstill while we wait for master.kernel.org to come back.
Linus is now using a github.com account; any reason why the same could not apply to net and net-next, so that development can proceed?
Thanks, Jan

As an active kernel developer, I would vote for being thankful for this pause. Its always a good thing to relax and enjoy your time ;)
I actually lost my main development trees because of nasty disk corruptions in 3.1-rc4, and wrong habit of not doing any backups... Oh well...
More than a repository for net and net-next, we really want a working netdev mailing list.
Anyway, everything is queued and you dont have to worry.
