Iqembu labacwaningi abavela eNyuvesi yaseMinnesota, izinguquko zabo ezisanda kuvinjelwa uGreg Croah-Hartman, bashicilele incwadi evulekile bexolisa futhi bechaza izisusa zemisebenzi yabo. Masikhumbule ukuthi iqembu lalicwaninga ubuthakathaka ekubuyekezweni kwama-patches angenayo futhi lihlola ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukukhuthaza izinguquko ezinobuthakathaka obufihliwe ku-kernel. Ngemva kokuthola ipheshana elingabazisayo elinokulungiswa okungenangqondo kwelinye lamalungu eqembu, kwacatshangwa ukuthi abacwaningi babephinde bazame ukwenza izivivinyo kubathuthukisi be-kernel. Njengoba ukuhlola okunjalo kungase kube usongo lwezokuphepha futhi kuthathe isikhathi kubahlanganyeli, kunqunywe ukuthi kuvinjwe ukwamukelwa kwezinguquko futhi kuthunyelwe zonke iziqephu ezamukelwe ngaphambilini ukuze zibuyekezwe kabusha.
Encwadini yabo evulelekile, leli qembu lathi imisebenzi yabo ishukunyiswa izinhloso ezinhle kuphela kanye nesifiso sokuthuthukisa inqubo yokubuyekezwa koshintsho ngokuhlonza nokuqeda ubuthakathaka. Iqembu belifunda izinqubo eziholela ekubeni sengozini iminyaka eminingi futhi lisebenza ngokuzikhandla ukuhlonza nokuqeda ubungozi ku-Linux kernel. Wonke amapheshana angu-190 athunyelwe ukuze abuyekezwe kuthiwa asemthethweni, alungisa izinkinga ezikhona, futhi awaqukethe iziphazamisi zamabomu noma ubungozi obufihliwe.
Ucwaningo olushaqisayo lokuthuthukisa ubungozi obufihliwe lwenziwa ngo-Agasti odlule futhi lwalukhawulelwe ekuthumeleni ama-bug patches amathathu, okungekho neyodwa eyakwenza kwaba ku-kernel codebase. Umsebenzi ohlobene nalezi ziqephu wawukhawulelwe engxoxweni kuphela futhi ukuqhubeka kweziqephu kwamiswa esiteji ngaphambi kokuba izinguquko zengezwe ku-Git. Ikhodi yamapeshi amathathu ayinkinga awakanikezwa, njengoba lokhu kuzodalula ubunikazi balabo abenze isibuyekezo sokuqala (ulwazi luzodalulwa ngemva kokuthola imvume konjiniyela abangazange babone amaphutha).
Umthombo oyinhloko wocwaningo kwakungewona ama-patches ethu, kodwa ukuhlaziya iziqephu zabanye abantu ezake zengezwa ku-kernel, ngenxa yalokho ubungozi obuvele kamuva. Ithimba leNyuvesi yaseMinnesota alihlangene nokwengezwa kwalezi ziqephu. Isamba seziqephu eziyi-138 eziyinkinga eziholele emaphutheni zacwaningwa, futhi ngesikhathi kushicilelwa imiphumela yocwaningo, wonke amaphutha ahlobene nawo ayeselungisiwe, okuhlanganisa nokubamba iqhaza kwethimba elenza ucwaningo.
Abacwaningi bayazisola ngokuthi basebenzise indlela yokuhlola engafanele. Iphutha kwaba ukuthi ucwaningo lwenziwa ngaphandle kokuthola imvume futhi ngaphandle kokwazisa umphakathi. Inhloso yomsebenzi ofihliwe kwakuyisifiso sokuzuza ubumsulwa bokuhlolwa, njengoba isaziso singaheha ukunaka okukhethekile kumapeshi nokuhlola kwawo hhayi ngokwesisekelo esijwayelekile. Nakuba umgomo wawungekona ukuthuthukisa ukuvikeleka kwembewu, abacwaningi manje baqaphela ukuthi ukusebenzisa umphakathi njengengulube kwakungalungile futhi kuwukuziphatha okubi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, abacwaningi baqinisekisa ukuthi abasoze balimaza umphakathi ngenhloso futhi ngeke bavumele ubungozi obusha ukuthi bungeniswe kukhodi ye-kernel esebenzayo.
Ngokuqondene nesiqephu esingasho lutho esisebenze njengembangela yokuvinjelwa, asihlobene nocwaningo lwangaphambilini futhi sihlotshaniswa nephrojekthi entsha ehloselwe ukudala amathuluzi okuthola amaphutha okuzenzakalelayo avela njengomphumela wokwengezwa kwamanye amapheshana.
Amalungu eqembu njengamanje azama ukuthola izindlela zokubuyela ekuthuthukisweni futhi ahlose ukulungisa ubudlelwano bawo ne-Linux Foundation kanye nomphakathi wonjiniyela ngokufakazela ukuthi bawusizo ekuthuthukiseni ukuphepha kwe-kernel kanye nokuzwakalisa isifiso sokusebenza kanzima ukuze kuzuze bonke abantu futhi baphinde bathembeke.
