The versioning approach pioneered by Christoph Lameter seems to work reasonably well. If you post a new version increase a version number and add it with "vXXX" to the Subject. Also add a short change log between versions at the bottom; e.g. v1->v2: .... etc. Then it is always clear what is the latest'n'greatest. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
