Hi,

I already wrote the postmaster of vger.kernel.org a request for a new
mailinglist "linux-wpan". It's not sure to get this name, nevertheless I
reconfigured the existsing "friendly fork" at github to this new name,
see [0].

When I get the mailinglist on vger.kernel.org I will change the
infrastructure in MAINTAINERS file to this one.

Then I will request a "single point of pull" to david miller and he only
accepts pull-request from me then. Your patches need to based on
"linux-wpan-next" (net-next) or "linux-wpan" (net). The current stable
strategie makes it a little bit complicated to decide if linux-wpan-next
or linux-wpan.

Global note is:

If you found a bug in "linux-wpan" and this doesn't depend on
things in"linux-wpan-next", then send patches which based on
"linux-wpan".



But I didn't request "single point of pull" yet. I don't want to do that
until the update of the MAINTAINERS file.

I also forked the repository for the lowpan-tools at github.

You can also send patches for this marked with "lowpan-tools" tag.
This can be done by:

git format-patch -s -1 --subject-prefix="PATCH lowpan-tools"

I will send my patches also to this list for a global review, of course.
I detected a bug some months ago which I like to fix. I will send it
later as an example.


Future planing is maybe a new implementation libwpan (LGPL) and
wpan-tools (GPL) which used the libwpan library. The libwpan should
offer a easier access to the kernelspace without knowing of libnl
things. But this is an idea, only.
