I don't think you can. Jason's branch is in preparation for Andrew's mm patch series which is off a rc update. What holding up getting the kgdb patch push from mm to Linus's kernel? I'm currently catching up on 2.6.12 to 2.6.16 and will upgrade to 2.6.22 most likely next. Getting the kgdb patch into the mainstream would save developers a lot a time messing with this. Jason just published the kgdb patch for going into the mainline on 10/15/2007 (Yesterday). I think it might be worth while to make clones of Greg Kroah-Hartman's stable repositories and merge Jason's patches back into those repos and make them git down loadable from git.kernel.org. Looks like Andrew thinks it's too soon to go into the mainstream and it has to be reviewed even more and will go into 2.6.25. Perhaps it would have be better to make the kgdb patches for Andrew based off the current stable release and then pull those changes to a mm branch. Back porting from mm back to the stable releases double the effort. Maybe while Jason is pushing to get the kgdb patch into the mainstream we can backport his changes to the stable branches and make them available like Greg Kroah-Hartman's git repositories. With 2.6.16.x being an important repo that I'm syncing with maybe I can post an git repo for that. If Jason has time to backport his branches back to stable repos that would be great but I suspect he may busy enough with "just" the push to the mainstream for 2.6.25 and the mm series. Having a kgdb git repo for each of the -stable trees would be ideal. Looks like 2.6.22 will be the next important stable .x kernel tree. - -piet > > Thanks in advance, > Lance > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
