Kbuild maintainership

Kbuild maintainership

[Masahiro Yamada]

Hello Kbuild contributors,


As you may notice, Michal has been busy since the beginning
of this year, and it has been getting difficult for him to
work on Kbuild on his regular basis.

Michal sent me an email a few days ago, and we discussed this locally.
Then, I decided to be a new maintainer of Kbuild. [1]
Michal will stay as a maintainer too, but Kbuild patches will be
primarily collected by me from this development cycle.

I know many developers are looking forward to their patches picked up.
I will try my best to help the community, and I just started to take a look.
So, please wait a little more.

If you have urgent problems, please speak up!

Thanks!

Yes, that's unfortunately the case.

I assume that I will get a request to change the kbuild-current and
kbuilt trees in linux-next soon.  In the meantime, should I remove the
current ones?

No rush though since I am on leave next week.

There is one genksyms fix in kbuild.git#kbuild which is not in mainline.
Masahiro, can you please pull it into your tree and give Stephen the url
and branches?

Thanks,
Michal

I have been wondering how itshould be handled.

(and I had already sent a question about this to your suse.com address.
I am guessing it has not reached to you, yet.)


I will pull the branch into the new repository.

Thanks!

I had already dropped an email onto your address privately.
(Maybe, are you checking the ML, but not your mailbox yet?)

Anyway, no need to rush.
When you get back to work, please adjust linux-next.

Thanks!
