Kernel prepatch 3.7-rc7 Linus has released the 3.7-rc7 kernel prepatch. " A week ago, I had even considered skipping -rc7 entirely
as things had been so calm, but decided that there was little reason to
hurry the release. And oh, how sadly right I was." This could prove to be the last one, though, if the next week of testing goes well. | | 6:17p |

Langasek: Upstart in Debian Steve Langasek has announcedthat upstart is available in Debian unstable. " One of the consequences is that it's now possible to do meaningful head-to-head comparisons of boot speed between sysvinit (with startpar), upstart, and systemd. At one time or another people have tested systemd vs. sysvinit when using bash as /bin/sh, and upstart vs. sysvinit, and systemd vs. sysvinit+startpar, and there are plenty of bootcharts floating around showing results of one init system or another on one distro or another, but I'm not aware of anyone having done a real, fair comparison of the three solutions, changing nothing but the init system." |
