Um, no, actually Moblin was quite different. I maintained the kernel for Novell's Moblin machines, and only picked a few patches from Intel's kernel. So this was not in the context of Moblin at all. > I think Nokia has already started patch submission for N900 support.

I'm saying that Intel is currently the owner of the MeeGo kernel package, and that if you create a bug in the meego bugzilla against the kernel package, it gets automatically assigned to an Intel developer. Hopefully in the future there is a way to handle assigning arm-specific kernel bugs to a Nokia person, but I don't see that happening at the moment, do you? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
