Dave Jones	dcefb396c2	[PATCH] Fix up pwc driver compilation. ... The neutering of the pwc driver was incomplete. It still references some now-dead files.. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>	20 years ago
Alan Cox	88c1834633	[PATCH] remove non-cleanroom pwc driver compression ... The original pwc author raised some questions about the reverse engineering of the decompressor algorithms used in the pwc driver. Having done some detailed investigation it appears those concerns that clean room policy was not followed are reasonable. I've also had a friendly discussion with Philips to ask their view on this. This removes the problem items of code which reduces the pwc functionality in the kernel a little but leaves all the framework for setup that will be needed for decompressors in user space (where they eventually belong). This change set is designed to be the minimal risk change set given that 2.6.12 is hopefully close to hand, with a view to merging the much updated pwc code in 2.6.13 series kernels. Someone else can then redo the decompressors properly (clean room) in user space. Note that while its easy to say that it should have been caught earlier, but the violation was really only obvious to someone who had access to both the proprietary source and the 'GPL' source.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	1da177e4c3	Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!	20 years ago
