The lead maintainer of Linux, Andrew Morton, has made the startling claim
that the Linux production kernel has too many defects, writes
the
Inquirer.
Morton told the
Linuxtag
conference in Wiesbaden, Germany that he was considering drastic action to
resolve resolve the number of bugs in the 2.6 kernal.
Kernel developers need to spend more time fixing bugs, he said, and he plans
to have an entire cycle dedicated to the task.
One problem he identified was that too few developers were working on
defects, and this was causing problems for those using old computers or
peripherals.
Part of the reason for this, he added, was that many kernel developers work
for IT companies and have little interest in ageing peripherals that while still
used, are no longer sold.
