Hello,
I would like to report that user #17054 is using his personal space to vehicolate spam (and has spammed my guestbook!)
Thanks,
Luca
We've added new features to our mail archive search engine. Our new features allow you to search for messages from specific names and with specific words in the subject. You can also limit your search to specific specific years and/or months and/or days. Finally, we cleaned up a handful of bugs in our advanced search interface that were resulting in faulty results.
I really don't feel these "historical" quotes add any value here.
Linus wanted to keep it simple from the start? Memory size increased dramatically over the last decades? So what?
This happened 16 years ago, and none of these quotes sheds any light on Linux as we know it in 2007.
Seems it chokes on the backquote character: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2007/11/7/392816
We have added full-text search functionality to our mailing list archives. A simple search block shows up along side each mail archive posting allowing you to search all mailing lists, or just the list that you're currently viewing. An advanced search page helps you craft more complex queries and to search multiple mailing lists at a time.
Searching is extremely fast thanks to the Sphinx search engine. Currently our search index is only updated once ever day, but we will soon improve it to update more frequently. Check the advanced search page to see as new features are enabled.
At the website
http://kerneltrap.org/man/linux/man3p/asctime.3p
there are following errors in the code:
static char wday_name[7][3] = {
"Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"
};
static char mon_name[12][3] = {
"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun",
"Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"
};
I assume that such per-user options are now clashing with the new page caching optimizations in the mail archive (unlike the rel=next links which can be baked right into the cached page and therefore still work). Since they don't work anymore, it's probably better to remove those features altogether, than having misleading options in the user control panel.
There is a new job board widget on Kernel Trap. But no one seems to be using it. I wonder why? Your feedback about the job board widget would be most appreciated. Do you like the jobs? Have you considered posting your resume? What has kept you from posting your resume? Have you considered posting some jobs there? Why not? What do you think of the widget?
[Editor's note: this comment was originally attached to this article. I have moved it to the correct forum.]
Kerneltrap's "articles" have really become worse and worse over the years, and this one is a perfect example of the daily flood of worthless drivel that passes for an "article" these days.
Would it be possible to get a news feed without the worthless quotes, please.
Thank you very much.
The last few (at least) quotes seem to be double-tagged: "Tags: GPL, GPL, license, license, Linus Torvalds, Linus Torvalds, Linux, Linux"
The past few days have been a little rough. To begin, all KernelTrap configuration files were moved into a configuration management system, but in doing so many of the configuration files inadvertently got modified. These issues were fixed as they were noticed.
Can you add something like "[QUOTE]" in the subject of the quotes in the RSS feed (or alternatively remove them, or have a separate RSS feed)?
Did you ever have noticed that the clock of the server that serves
the content of Kerneltrap is 6 hours behind the actual time?
In a globalized world it would also be more appropriate to display
time stamps and similar things in an ISO8601-like format with timezone
information included. I don't know which time it is when I read
