Signed-off-by means "I am (in part) responsible for this ending up in thid repo", i.e., you wrote part of the patch or you were on the path pushing it in. > Not sure how exactly the Linux kernel folks use these... Acked-by is used as a comment "looks fine by me" when not taking direct action yourself. Segher -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
