> The latest maintenance release Git v2.46.1 is now available at the usual places. Unlike maintenance releases in the recent past, this one is _not_ about security fixes, but primarily about fixes to various commands that can work outside a repository barfing due to lack of initialization of the hash function. IOW, it is not the end of the world if you did not update to this version for a few weeks, or wait for 2.47 ;-).

Output

> Git 2.46.1 is out. No security fixes this time, just some tweaks to stop commands from puking when used outside a repo. No rush to update - you're not gonna die if you wait for 2.47.

Input: “Mauro, SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

> Shut the fuck up!

> It's a kernel bug, not a pulseaudio bug. How long have you been a maintainer and you still don't get the first rule of kernel maintenance? If user programs break, it's a kernel bug. We never blame the user programs.

> Commit f0ed2ce840b3 is total crap. ENOENT is not a valid error return from an ioctl. That's just wrong.

> Stop making excuses and blaming other programs. We don't break userspace, period. Fix your broken "compliance tool" and your approach to kernel programming.
