Google open source guru says Android code will be in Linux kernel in time

03/06/2010  
Relevance: 9.89
Google’s Android code will assume its rightful place in the Linux kernel â€' in good time, the company’s top open source guru says. The Android code was stripped out of the last kernel release, version 2.6.33, after Google reportedly failed to provide necessary changes and subsystem code required by kernel.org. This led some to claim Google had forked Linux, a charge that was debated in a long thread among developers. Google’s top open source program manager Chris DiBona said he doesn’t think the Android phone operating system code is any more a fork of Linux than Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Tip from RHCEs: Cows in the Linux kernel

11/30/2007  
Relevance: 9.89
While you deal with your daily chores, you may not have much chance or time to dig deep into Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® source code. When you face a problem, unlike other proprietary software, RHEL lets you access its source code freely as a last resort. Let's go through how to access RHEL source code so that you will be well prepared when something calls for it. This guide will show you how you can enjoy the archeology of the linux kernel by digging into source code.

Kernel log: More than 10 million lines of Linux source files

10/23/2008  
Relevance: 9.55
After the release of Linux 2.6.27, kernel developers are currently busily integrating patches for the next kernel version into the main development branch of Linux. This usually involves discarding some old code and adding new code though on balance, there are usually more new lines than old ones, making the kernel grow continually.

Microsoft stuns Linux world, submits source code for kernel

07/21/2009  
Relevance: 9.44
In an historic move, Microsoft Monday submitted driver source code for inclusion in the Linux kernel under a GPLv2 license. The code consists of four drivers that are part of a technology called Linux Device Driver for Virtualization. The drivers, once added to the Linux kernel, will provide the hooks for any distribution of Linux to run on Windows Server 2008 and its Hyper-V hypervisor technology. Microsoft will provide ongoing maintenance of the code.

Google's Chrome browser heads toward Linux and Mac

09/10/2008  
Relevance: 9.11
While the current beta edition of Chrome currently runs on Windows only, open source developers -- including some from Mozilla -- are now working on getting Google's new browser to operate on Linux and Mac, too. The developers' site for Chromium, an open source project rolled out by Google at the time of its launch of the Chrome browser, also contains build instructions for Windows, Linux, and Mac. There, in addition to making the source code for Chrome available under a BSD license, Google explains how to submit patches and submit bug reports. The source code for Chrome's high-performance V8 JavaScript engine is also downloadable.

Using ZFS though FUSE

06/19/2008  
Relevance: 8.86
ZFS is an advanced filesystem created by Sun Microsystems but not supported in the Linux kernel. The ZFS_on_FUSE project allows you to use ZFS through the Linux kernel as a FUSE filesystem. This means that a ZFS filesystem will be accessible just like any other filesystem the Linux kernel lets you use. Apart from any technical or funding issues, a major reason that ZFS support has not been integrated into the Linux kernel is that Sun has released it under its Common Development and Distribution License, which is incompatible with the GPL used by the kernel. There are also patent issues with ZFS. However, the source code for ZFS is available, and running ZFS through FUSE does not violate any licenses, because you are not linking CDDL and GPL code together. You're on your own as far as patents go.

Recently Greg Kroah Hartman showed some very interesting Linux kernel development stats. I decided to do some too and the result are 5 cool things you probably didn’t know about the kernel code ;-) These aren’t anything I’ve seen so far about the kernel.

This week at LWN: A tempest in a tty pot

08/13/2009  
Relevance: 8.66
There are dark areas of the kernel where only the bravest hackers dare to tread. Places where the code is twisted, the requirements are complex, and everything depends on ancient code which has seen little change over the years because even the most qualified developers fear the consequences. Arguably, no part of the kernel is darker and scarier than the serial terminal (TTY) code. Recently, this code was getting a much-needed update, but it now appears that a disconnect within the community has brought that work to a halt and thrown TTY back into the"unmaintained" column - at a time when that code has known regressions in the 2.6.31-rc kernel.

Linux exploit gets around security barrier

07/21/2009  
Relevance: 8.34
A security researcher has released zero-day code for a flaw in the Linux kernel, saying that it bypasses security protections in the operating system. The source code for the exploit was made available last week by researcher Brad Spengler on the Dailydave mailing list. According to the researcher, the code exploits a vulnerability in Linux version 2.6.30, and 2.6.18, and affects both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The 2.6.18 kernel is used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

jQuery Embedded in Dojo Accordion Panes

02/10/2009  
Relevance: 8.24
The Dojo Toolkit is an Open source JavaScript toolkit which can be used to develop stunning web pages. I liked it from the very beginning. It is very fast and provides lots of tools to work with DOM, Animations, AJAX etc. The base code is lightweight (~26 KB). jQuery, even lighter, also Open Source, is the write-less, do-more, cross-browser, CSS3 compliant JavaScript library. In this article we will experiment embedding jQuery in DOJO 123's Accordion widget and try to identify if there exists any cross-code interactions. The code is also tested for cross-browser suitability.
