Hi,

will be there a kernel after 2.4.20 ?

I would like to submit a patch for backporting the tipar char driver.

Thanks, roms.

Sure, there is 2.2 development too. Don't count on 2.6 being mainstream anytime soon.

Regards,

There were 2.0 releases until 2001, and three 2.2 releases this year alone, I think you can assume that there will be releases for at least another year.

Actually with all the problem reports and partial fixes for data loss on journaling filesystems (or perhaps only ext3), I would expect another release fairly soon.

Certainly if you submit a patch by the end of the year it would be soon enough, although it still has to be accepted. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't, although that doesn't mean much.
