Event Timeline

Even though emaste is the SME, we know that dumping the video buffer is (tragically!) a syscons only feature, so I'm going to merge this and let emaste get some sleep :p

This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.

I did tweak the commit message for:

  1. Limiting at 72 characters per the committers guide. I'm sensitive to this because I use 80 column vt.
  2. Limiting title to 50 char per git-commit(1). The project doesn't have a rule on this, and we just do it "if it's convenient".
  3. 3 days is long enough for this type of change, usually someone complains immediately or not for months, and this commit is super straightforward if they do.
