Linux boosts Microsoft NTFS support as Linus Torvalds complains about GitHub merges

▤ Summary

Konstantin Komarov of Paragon Software replied upon Friday with the NTFS3 pull request, but did so — to the dismay of Torvalds — via Githubs web interface. Current version works with normal/compressed/sparse files and supports acl, NTFS journal replaying," explained Komarov. Via The Register, Torvalds offered Komarov a few pointers on how not to submit pull requests in the future, especially using GitHubs web interface for any code merges into the Linux kernel. Here are five ways to make it easier Torvalds also had some pertinent security advice, perhaps useful in light of recent software supply chain cyberattacks that the Linux Foundation wants to address by improving supply chain integrity through tools that make it easier to cryptographically sign software. So while I prefer to see a full chain of trust, I realize that isnt always easy to set up, and so at least I want to see an "identity" that stays constant so that I can see that pulls come from the same consistent source that controls that key."
