Probably more important to get them to Greg for his tree which should then get it to Linus's tree. Eventually uclinux will get it (at least it should). The less patches are lying around the better, so getting it upstream as far as possible is always best for long term survival of a piece of code. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
