Hi Olof, I have APM X-Gene git ready on github. According to your response above, I need to send a signed pull request. I created a PGP key on public server (https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?search=duc+dang&op=index) and signed the tag on APM X-Gene tree with my key. Please let me know if I need anything else before sending the git pull request to you. My key is not signed by any maintainer yet, would you mind to arrange some time next week to meet and help sign my key as well? > > > Thanks, > > -Olof -- Thanks and regards, Duc Dang. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
