Linux creator Linus Torvalds announces that he will introduce Paragon Software’s NTFS3 kernel driver in the 5.15 version of the Linux kernel.
This is to increase support for Microsoft’s NTFS file system, which has historically been difficult to work with for Linux users, reports Zdnet.
However, Linus Torvalds criticized the use of Github merge commit in Paragon Software’s download request.
“There’s one more thing I really do not want to see – Github creates totally useless junk mergers and you should never use Github’s interface for any merger … Github is a fully capable host site and it does several other things well, but mergers are not one of those things ”, writes Linus Torvalds.
For security reasons, Torvalds also prefers to see that download requests via Github accounts are made with a signed tag, not just a branch.
