The tree you are after is Greg's staging tree. You can find it here. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/ As Greg already said, the branch of that tree you want is staging-next, also you may like to check your patches apply to the staging-testing branch before submitting them. Good luck, Tobin. ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

You can use linux-next just fine, as it includes the staging-next branch, along with all other subsystem's development trees. Just be careful, linux-next rebases every day, you might have a harder time doing development on it if you don't really know what you are doing with git. hope this helps, greg k-h ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

Yes it is, make sure you work off of the correct branch as well. For the staging tree, working off of the staging-next is best. thanks and good luck! greg k-h ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
