hello!

you'll find the patch at:
http://debian.stro.at/kjt/2.6.7-rc1-kjt1/2.6.7-rc1-kjt1.patch.bz2
updated split out patches:
http://debian.stro.at/kjt/2.6.7-rc1-kjt1/split/

this patch is intended for further _testing_ of our work.
i hope that it helps Acme releasing the official kj ones.
i won't forward anything to maintainers or lkml.
will try to release on weekly/10days base.

same rules applies for kjt as of previous kj by Randy:
patch that gets an objection on the list don't get in 
until reworked rediff.

critics welcome + bug me if i forgot something.

 Very, very good! Why we not thought it before! :-)

 Why not 5 days ? Are you too busy ? Maybe, we can have a
maintainer per week (five utils days).

 I have a suggestion here. Why not apply the patch _even_
it does have a simple objection ? Of course, if a Mantainer
says "don't", that's ok to drop. But if the patch is
generating a discussion, it could be applyed.

 What do you think ?

 I'm wondering about this patch, it is still alive !

 It was my first patch in Janitors, does have about one year...

hmm that would mean in 4 days from now, 
sure i'm on university and should pass exams primarily..
i may do that from time to time, but we don't produce that
many patches that it makes sense to me.

the primarily goal of kjt should be to collect patches 
that are suitable for the official kj release from acme.
most objection on the kj mailing list are pretty funded.
but you are right that the rules for kjt shouldn't be too tight.

/me laughs
yeeah, i know mine above is not much better,
they are still not merged, but we had that double check of size
by domen puncer, that was quite wired, he got bigger sizes by them.
(he used a red hat machine with gcc 3.3.3, if i remember correctly)
so i don't know if those should really be pushed.

what i would love to see is that people use kjt for there own kernels,
so that we can catch bugs in our patches before sending them out!

thanks a lot for your nice mail. :)

Yes, the conflicting results certainly slowed it down IMO.

 Hummm, yes you right. Actually, there are times where we
produce a lot of work... But is not always...

 I don't remember the gcc version I used to test the patch, but will
review it.

we need independent good size reports on them,
i may also have some time that weekend.
the best for them would be a report by domen 
stating they are fine? (handwaving ;-)
or one of as confirming his results than we
can either push or trash them.
