Depends. By putting a patchset into a series I definitely mean that in some ways it should be considered a single entity -- so for instance in my list of pending qemu patches a series is a single list entry, and generally they're semantically related changes intended to be all applied together. On the other hand sometimes you do want to think about the patches separately -- sometimes patches 1,4,5 get reviewed OK and 2,3 rejected for rework; occasionally a partial patchset is committed. So: a series is a single entity containing a lot of separate patches; put another way, what's the purpose for which you want to decide whether it's one thing or a whole pile? :-) -- PMM _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
