Depends on your definition of vaporware. If "doing 90% of the |
8 |
work and then refusing to release the code because he never quite |
9 |
finishes any fucking project and is embarrased by his code" qualifies, |
10 |
then yes, it is vaporware. This guy has a history of doing exactly |
11 |
this, and it is extremely frustrating. Also, he absolutely refuses to |
12 |
provide the patch if you ask him directly. |

Yes, I have tested this kernel and it does indeed work. Again though, |
29 |
no code... |

No, it won't. If there isn't a patch on onion's site, then there isn't |
41 |
a patch anywhere (unless by chance somebody else independently wrote a |
42 |
patch and then never bothered to announce it to the linux-mips |
43 |
community). |
