Hi all,
I've had a number of people ask me if I've sent off their specific patch
lately, so let me show how I'm keeping track of everything (which
should let people be able to answer this kind of questions themselves.)
As I send patches to the various maintainers, I'm placing a copy of them
in the following public locations:
for the 2.2.x tree:
kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/usb/2.2/
for the 2.4.x tree:
kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/usb/2.4/
for the 2.5.x tree:
kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/usb/2.5/
The patches currently in there are the ones I sent out yesterday and
today. If anyone is interested in original copies of any previous ones
(I know mail archives sometimes mangle them), let me know. If the
number of patches in one directory grows unmanageable in the future,
I'll split them up into smaller subdirectories.
My bitkeeper kernel trees (what I use to track kernel development, and
what I make patches off of) are now public and available at:
http://linuxusb.bkbits.net/
You can clone a copy of my trees from there, and update from them if you
wish (I usually merge new kernels pretty quickly from when they are
released.)
To clone the 2.2.x tree run:
bk clone bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/usb-2.2 usb-2.2
To clone the 2.4.x tree run:
bk clone bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/usb-2.4 usb-2.4
To clone the 2.5.x tree run:
bk clone bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/usb-2.5 usb-2.5
If you have any problems with these kernel trees (or using bitkeeper to
access them) email me offline and I'll be glad to help.
If anyone wants me to move one of the cvs trees that is on the sf.net
linux-usb site to a bitkeeper tree on the bkbits.net site, let me know
and I can set it up.
If you start using bitkeeper for your development, and you track my
tree(s), you can send me bitkeeper changesets instead of patches, but
normal text mode patches are still preferred.
I'll make snapshot releases of the current state of a tree whenever I
feel there are a lot of outstanding patches (like I did last week.) If
anyone wants a current snapshot in patch format at any moment in time,
send me a message, and I'll be glad to send it to you.
If I say that a patch you have sent me has been accepted by me, I'll add
it to those trees. Once it is in the tree, I will then push it on to
the proper kernel maintainer until it is either accepted, or they have a
question/problem with it. You don't have to worry about me loosing your
patch once it is in the tree. If I have a problem forward porting your
patch against a new kernel release, I'll let you know, otherwise using
bitkeeper makes it very easy to do it.
Is all of this ok with everyone? Any questions, please let me know.
thanks,
greg k-h
