Hi, |

|

We have some new ALSA maintainers: beandog, chainsaw, phreak |
| 4 |
(and me helping out to start with) |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
It's of course up to the maintainers to choose how they work, but the |
| 7 |
recommendations I have laid down have been that they focus on the |
| 8 |
userspace side: utils, tools, firmware, lib. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I have suggested that herd support for the kernelspace side |
| 11 |
(alsa-driver) be slowly reduced, by redirecting users who file bugs |
| 12 |
against it to reproduce with the in-kernel drivers, and then let kernel |
| 13 |
handle the bug resolution. This will remove duplicated maintenance efforts. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This will also mean no more stabling of -rc releases (and probably fewer |
| 16 |
of those in portage at all). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
alsa-driver won't be going away altogether, as it is still needed for |
| 19 |
2.4 users (but we won't support them forever) and I think it may include |
| 20 |
a couple of drivers which aren't yet in the kernel tree. |

The alias for bugs is still alsa-bugs@g.o |
