No, not at all. Look at the kernel package, the bugzilla owners of kernel bugs, and who is doing all the work and "ownership" here. > If we are going to integrate patches which enable different > functionality on Nokia N900 into MeeGo kernel, then I don't think Intel > would like to "own" those patches.

I agree, unfortunatly things to not seem to be set up that way at the moment. In Intel's defense, they have been _very_ responsive and helpful with any kernel-related issue, so I currently have no problem with how they are maintaining the kernel so far. I'm really happy with the way it's going, if anyone isn't, just file a bug :) thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
