Hi, I'm going to be helping Steve Whitehouse maintain the upstream GFS2 kernel git tree. To make this possible, we had to switch the repository to a different location that's shared between us. The new GFS2 upstream tree is located here:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2.git/ As per the kernel.org standard, we're planning to use branch "for-next" to keep recent upstream patches queued for the next merge window. This replaces the old "master" branch in the -nmw development repo. So linux-gfs2's "master" branch will track Linus's tree, and "for-next" will be for queuing new patches. To clone the new tree, do something like this: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2.git There are currently three patches pushed to the new "for-next" branch: 0108044 Add myself (Bob Peterson) as a maintainer of GFS2 (Bob Peterson) 9717c00 GFS2: gfs2_set_acl(): Cache "no acl" as well (Andreas Gruenbacher) 76514ae GFS2: Allocate reservation during splice_write (Bob Peterson) Stephen Rothwell: If you haven't already done so, please change your nightly script to pull patches for linux-next from the "for-next" branch of this tree. I've never been a kernel maintainer before, so expect a few blunders, and let me know if (and how) I can do better with the process. Regards, Bob Peterson
