I understand that the kernel team has lots of more important bugs to take care of than wishlist bugs, but I'd really appreciate it if someone commented on http://bugs.debian.org/577264 I am still unsure about the preferred way to provide such a driver patch. The first version attached to the bug was just a copy of the upstream version with the necessary modifications to make it build under 2.6.32. I have now done the job identifying which commits created the current upstream version, and instead provided a patch set consisting of cherry picked upstream commits. Is this preferred, even though it results in a high number of patches (120 to be exact)? It keeps a lot of meta data, which I guess is useful. This alternate patchset is now attached to the bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=mantis-patches.tar.gz;att=1;bug=577264 Bjørn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
