Hi, I've now successfully migrated the code to Linux-2.3. I have a large patch which will soon be ready. I have some very interesting ideas for Linux-2.3, and there is much to be done. Therefore I would like to share the work others ;-) If not there will be very few, and long time between IrDA patches for Linux-2.2 (some might have noticed that I have started to become a little congested ;-) Is there anybody that want to maintain the Linux/IrDA-2.2 code? The job will be to look through the Linux/IrDA-2.3 patches, and take take out code that is considered to be 1) bug-fix or 2) new driver and 3) stable, and merge it into Linux-2.2. You should release the changes as a patch for Linux-2.2 for a week or so, so other people can test that they are in fact stable. The patches for Linux-2.3 should be made so that we have one patch for each "new" thing, so it's easy for the 2.2 maintainer to sort things out. So you will maintain IrDA for Linux-2.2 and I will maintain IrDA for Linux-2.3. I promise that I will not interfere with your work other than giving suggestions, comments and bug-fixes ;-) So here is how we should develop Linux/IrDA for the next months: 1) ALL new code goes into Linux-2.3! 2) Bug-fixes, drivers, and other stuff that are relevant to Linux-2.2 will must first be tried out in Linux-2.3, then they can be merged into Linux-2.2 when the code is considered stable. 3) Stuff that are relevant for Linux-2.2 only will first have to be tried out as a patch, before submitting the code to Alan PS. If more than one person wants to do this work then it's fine with me, and you should then collaborate, or just make your own separate patches. The most important thing is that somebody does this work, and as I said above, if nobody does it, then there will be not be many new IrDA patches for Linux-2.2. -- Dag -- / Dag Brattli | The Linux-IrDA Project / // University of Tromsoe, Norway | Infrared communication for Linux // /// http://www.cs.uit.no/~dagb | http://www.cs.uit.no/linux-irda/ ///
