Geoff? Sounds good. ps3-linux.git is used by a lot of active PS3 developers, so already gets some good testing on PS3, but I think if we get the stable patches into -mm, then we will get more testing on non-PS3 platforms, which is something I think we need. As a start, I'll work toward getting patches from ps3-stable into -mm. I think it is too late now for the 2.6.25 patches, so the 'for 2.6.26' ones. To make this work, we (PS3 maintainers) need to get our patches moved from ps3-wip to ps3-stable in a timely manner. As of late, it seems patches have lingered in ps3-wip too long. -Geoff ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

Geoff? There are lots of powerpc sub-trees. Kumar's, Geoff's, mine, Olof's, Grant's, Vitaly's are just the ones I can think of the top of my head. Shouldn't we just ask Paul to sync up more often rather than have Andrew track X number of trees that eventually all merge into Paul's anyway? josh ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

I beg to disagree (of course :-) I posted these patches before, about 2 months ago. Unfortunately I didn't CC you at that time, so they slipped under your radar. But the patches did receive public testing even before that, when they entered Geoff's ps3-linux.git tree.

Given the mess everyone has made of everything there's little chance that I'll be able to do a 2.6.24-mm1 so this stuff basically goes into mainline without public testing. I don't think many people care much about ps3 so whatever. But if it were core code or a popular driver then I would probably slip this back to 2.6.26.
