To those still using Firewire

Post by j_e_f_f_g »

You just got a reprieve. The linux support for firewire had been abandoned by its last maintainer. This meant that, if some new kernel accidentally broke the firewire support, you probably wouldn't be able to get a fix for it. Another developer just stepped forward to take over maintaining the kernel's firewire support until 2029.
