BitKeeperがないとどうなるか――心配はご無用
TorvaldsはこのリリースをLinuxカーネルのメーリングリストで次のように発表した。
今回のリリースは、さまざまな理由でいつものリリースとは少々違っている。これは僕がここしばらくの間で初めてBKを使わずに完成させたリリースで、なおかつ、「git」だけを使って作成した最初のリリースだ。このリリースはパッチ（2.6.11用）とtar-ballの両方の形で用意してある。非BKユーザにとって一番大きな違いは、おそらくChangeLogのフォーマットが少し変わっているところだろう。これは今後も変わる予定だ。というのは、僕がまだ新しいセットアップのための”release-script”ツールを用意していないからだ。今回のリリースでは、ChangeLogの情報などをgitから取り出すときに、その場しのぎのスクリプトをいくつか使いながら、大部分は手動で作業した。
当然ながら、gitは現時点ではまだ完全でも完璧でもない。Torvaldsはこの投稿の後の方でこう述べている。「他にまだ用意していないツールに、古い”shortlog”スクリプトがある。そのため、実に面倒な変換を使ってこの処理をした。細かいことは言わないが、ずいぶん久しぶりに’sed’の使い方を思い出したとだけ言っておこうか;) 途中で切れているように見える行がある場合は、残りの部分に、実際に何が起きたかが書かれている。残りの部分は長いログに含まれているはずだ…」
記録のために、完全なChangeLogを次に示しておく。これを見れば、Linux開発の流れが断絶したわけではなく、今までどおり継続されていることがわかる。心配はご無用である。パッチは十分にあるし、特に変わったことはない。
