19.2. Web Sites
In the fast-moving world of Linux kernel development, the most
current information is often found online. The following is our
selection of the best web sites as of this writing:
- http://www.kernel.org
- http://www.bkbits.net
This site hosts the source repositories used by a number of prominent
kernel developers. In particular, the project called
"linus" contains the mainline
kernel as maintained by Linus Torvalds. If you are curious about the
very latest patches which have been applied to the kernel, this is
the place to look.
- http://www.tldp.org
The Linux Documentation Project carries a
lot of interesting documents called
"HOWTOs"; some of them are pretty
technical and cover kernel-related topics.
- http://www.linux.it/kerneldocs
This page contains many kernel-oriented magazine articles written by
Alessandro Rubini. Some of them date back a few years, but they
usually still apply; some of them are in Italian, but usually an
English translation is available as well.
- http://lwn.net
At the risk of seeming self-serving, we point out this news site
that, among other things, offers regular kernel development coverage
and API change information.
- http://www.kerneltraffic.org
Kernel Traffic is a popular site that provides weekly summaries of
discussions on the Linux kernel development mailing list.
- http://www.kerneltrap.org/
This site picks up occasional interesting developments in the Linux
and BSD kernel communities.
- http://www.kernelnewbies.org
This site is oriented toward new kernel developers. There is
beginning information, a FAQ, and an associated IRC channel for those
looking for immediate assistance.
- http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/
The Linux Kernel Janitor project is the place where new kernel
programmers can learn how to join in the development effort. A wide
range of small, generally simple tasks that need to be done all over
the kernel are described here. There is a mailing list that helps new
developers get these changes into the main kernel tree. This is a
great place for anyone wanting to start doing Linux kernel
development but not knowing where to begin.
