Hi, > The way kernel development works is that patches are sent to mailing
lists for review. Kernel developers review the patches and provide comments back. The comments are discussed and actioned, and a new set of patches posted for further review. This cycle repeats.
Okay. I just wanted to prevent too much traffic. But I'll use git-send-email, if you prefer.
When everyone is happy, the patches can be applied, or pulled from a non-github git tree. (Kernel people generally don't like github.)
Why so ?
This is so that upstream kernel developers don't get too overloaded with work that really should be done by downstream folk (imagine if they had to rewrite every patch that came their way...)
Of course. I wasn't aware of the separate linux-media maillist at that time. By the way: I've now moved to Phillip's recent ipuv3 patches, but still have lots of others (about 30) for my tqma53-based board, which might be generic enough for going into mainline someday (many of them by ptx folks). Should I post them to lkml or somewhere else ? cu -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult +49-151-27565287 MELAG Medizintechnik oHG Sitz Berlin Registergericht AG Charlottenburg HRA 21333 B Wichtiger Hinweis: Diese Nachricht kann vertrauliche oder nur für einen begrenzten Personenkreis bestimmte Informationen enthalten.
