Hello,
i'd like to move from 2.6.29 debian kernel to something more recent so
this night i've started collecting patches found both in debian kernel
and in the last two months in this list. Haven't looked at shr repository.
Please be aware that still i haven't booted my fr with this kernel and i
think i'll try to add some debian packaging to it before doing so.
I've a couple of things to note:
- Very few people use git in the (proper?) kernel way: this mean adding
a signed off by line, a proper title and a proper description. Probably
because people who do the patches does not have a public git tree so
they don't care about that. That's bad imho.
- There's a lot of random patches available in trac and ml that have not
been applied. That's bad too. The cause for this _may_ be that only
larsc has write access. If is not possible to extend write access, what
if the other developers open a tree somewhere else so at least the
patches are stored in the proper way and the chances of having them lost
is reduced?
Anyway you can find the patches here:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~rm/2.6.34-patches/
Btw, if you see patches you have done with my name and signoff this is
not because i want to steal your work, i've cut & pasted stuff from
mailing list archives so haven't used proper tools like git am and my
git is configured to automatically add my signoff. Please understand that.
If something is wrong / missing, please shout :)
thanks,
riccardo
