Hi all, After reading through the kernel documentation about submitting pathces, and reading through the kernel newbies guide to submitting patches, I still have some confusion.
Should I be doing all of my patching against linux-next as opposed to the mainline tree? I tried submitting a patch to some typos I found on the mainline tree, but they were rejected because they had already been fixed in linux-next. I guess I dont really understand what patches become part of the next mainline rc-x tree, and which patches become part of linux-next (which from what I understand, doesn't get merged until the next merge window when the current kernel version is finished being stabalized). Also, if I patch something in the linux-next tree, do I need to specify which tree it is when I send the patch the maintainers? Thank you for your help, James Browning _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
