Description:
Akamai has sent out a
press release saying that it is now hosting the kernel.org
repositories. The Linux kernel is massive approximately 28 million lines of
code. Since 2005, more than 13,500 developers from more than 1,300
different companies have contributed to the Linux
kernel. Additionally, there are many kernel versions, and
developers update the code constantly, distributing that code to
developers who are working on various distributions of
Linux. Akamai now delivers the infrastructure that these developers
and their users rely on, at no cost, supporting the Git
environments developers use to access kernel sources quickly,
regardless of where they're based.
