Most of the patches I commit without posting them first to the list are to fix bugs on non i386 targets, as they are broken too often by people who don't care about them. I don't like leaving the tree broken too long so I prefer to fix that directly. If people prefer, I can simply revert the broken patch or series, even if sometimes it means reverting a series of 10 or more patches. > 2.

The best would be to get the qemu commits list working again. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
