There are 22 trees that get merged into in linux-next that are "bug fixes for the current release" trees ... that was the list I sent you after the -rc7 announcement (most of which I think you have since merged. In fact, there are currently only 5 commits in those 22 trees that you have not merged. The other thing people do is to add such bug fixes to their -next trees before asking you to take them. --=20 Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ --Signature=_Sun__10_Oct_2010_10_51_21_+1100_4zc9hc=EDO=A2qSF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMsP/5AAoJEDMEi1NhKgbsYtgH/3nz6cTuY7rfvQlQgBrnCVfz OErBBj0wlSSlVwCVVAel+rNuam07wSShmb8A/YbDnx0fTbx4okwtV4Fw5tb+bf9N JuisnVjZaky+x7MxOsKScywtbSuOmzmCE0wPLm9AK8RFBjFUAyGPbRsphWJruLyh QozmzzXD7tFh3j3VHtP7D1RoRTRYUpX5qBZ/HnvKfCZoCXdEueJ7Z5nP5o5/PRYI oIDgBC6C/EAXUIrFzLeiRGzRtwMzCaJjy1JgnfobM8iEfSj6RbqlX8L9fIsx/OFq CxPxcFRNbSVfz19ZFJuE33xVRAKDb+YmmgZ9Ied5aU1DHiubLbJbqyf0sQafgSE= =74zp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Sun__10_Oct_2010_10_51_21_+1100_4zc9hc=EDO=A2qSF--
