Is dwmw supportive of this? Questions, questions.. The patchset used to contain lots of debugging support which wildly duplicated thigs which we already did and was generally overdone. That appears to all have been cleaned up now, so thanks for doing that. The one remaining nit I'd have with the debug code is that it adds a private hexdump() facility. By my count, that is the kernel's eighth hexdump implementation. There may be even more which don't have "hexdump" in their name. lib/hexdump.c is rather overdue. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Right, it is deployed already in a couple of customer projects and many folks at the Embedded Linux Conference showed interest.

Well, IBM is using it in a large project, the involved people are in CC. Thomas has 3+ customers who use it, I've added him to CC. I'm working for Nokia now and we use it. We also develop a new file system on top of UBI and Nokia invests money in it. So UBI is going to be maintained. Also there was enough questions interest in the MTD mailing lists as well. Particularly, a guy from @sunsung.com was interested. P.S. Just for the reference, here is the URL of the new file-system development tree (we have just started): git://git.infradead.org/~dedekind/jffs3-2.6.git or gitweb http://git.infradead.org/?p=users/dedekind/jffs3-2.6.git;a=summary -- Best regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Битюцкий Артём) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Quite frankly, I have absolutely _zero_ visibility into things like this, so before I merge it I want ack's from various layers (preferably a mixture of interests - are any vendors interested, is DavidW ok with this, who is using it now and are the interfaces and designs correct etc etc?) So I simply cannot make that decision. I don't have the expertise or the knowledge. I'll have to trust somebody else for things like this, and it should be somebody who isn't "personally involved". In other words, I kind of want a sign-off from other parties, because I can't pull things like this "blind". Are there (embedded?) vendors that already integrate this into their kernel, or wait for it? Is dwmw supportive of this? Questions, questions..
