| Five years of Git
| Christian Ludwig noted that itâs now been
| five years since Linus Torvalds â frustrated
| by the fallout from use of the proprietary
| BitKeeper software â wrote the guts of the
| Git distributed revision control system in
| the space of about a week. A lot more effort
| has gone in since then, and Junio C Hamano
| (as well as many others) continue to do an
| excellent job further developing and
| maintaining Linusâs original invention. Git
| (now at version 1.7.1) is used by a vast
| number of different open source projects,
| and tools like gitweb, github and others
| make collaboration between developers easier
| than ever before. Christian Ludwig has made
| a fun video showing Git kernel history,

Get simple access to encrypted Linux filesystems with cryptmount
,----[ Quote ]
| Version 2.4.x of the Linux kernel allowed
| easy access to encrypted filesystems via the
| loopback device. While the 2.6 series
| provides improved facilities in the form of
| the device-mapper, they are more complicated
| to use and require superuser privileges. To
| get back to simplicity, English developer RW
| Penney created cryptmount, a utility that
| manages all the details so that a user can
| just type cryptmount my_filesystem or
| cryptmount -u my_filesystem to make their
| data available or hidden.

| No cute April 1st shenanigans, just a regular -rc release that happened to
| come up today because I was waiting for the input layer oops-fixes to be
| ready and tested.
|
| I think the dirstat continues to be fairly informative, with arch/ and
| drivers dominating as usual. And within arch, a fair amount of the line
| noise are all those defconfigs. I wish we had some saner way of handling
| that, but apart from causing noise in the statistics there aren't any real
| downsides.
