Ok. Thanks a lot that you applied the patches so fast - even when the weather
is so nice. :)
I have a small question about the topic "how to reduce the workload for you".
We send the patch which should integrate batman-adv into net/ around two weeks
ago to David S. Miller and the net...@vger mailing list [1]. Some hours later
Hagen Paul Pfeifer responded with some questions and different ideas - which
we (batman developers and Henning Rogge from olsr) either answered and/or
started to discuss them.
The problem is that the discussion stopped quite fast... actually there was
only one mail from the netdev guys. This is quite irritating to me and the
question arose whether we did something terrible wrong when we send the patch.
Maybe you could give us a small hint how to proceed further. If we should
wait, poke around or maybe submit it in a completely different way. It is not
about "getting it into net right away", but we would really like to get some
responses so we can work on it to make it better.
batman-adv works quite well for us - but that doesn't mean that it is good in
context of the current kernel development. And who should know it better than
the netdev guys.
thanks for the mentoring,
Sven
