Generally this is a good idea. Otherwise this puts a lot of work onto the KJ maintainer and I'm not sure if he is willing to accept that additional work. > Such as : > .*set_dma_mask patch series > > Some person have made lot of great job on this, but we don't know what > is pending, what is rejected. Yup, some maintainers are very good at letting you know about accepting/rejecting patches, others are not. > I know, I can read all archive of KJ ML, thanks :-) That's what they are for. ;-) > I have tough about one solution, but it is not efficient and correct: > > ./linux-x.y.z-suffix/ > ./linux-x.y.z-suffix/patch-serie/ > ./linux-x.y.z-suffix/patch-serie/merged/ > ./linux-x.y.z-suffix/patch-serie/pending/ (commited here) > ./linux-x.y.z-suffix/patch-serie/merged/ > > The problem is : ./linux-x.y.z-suffix/ Exactly. I don't think such a approach will help anyone, kernel versions just change too often. And, as mentioned above it puts a lot of work onto the maintainer. > We do the job again and again... Hmmm, most of the time we do not need to start again, we just have to adjust the patches. KJ patches are often not very intrusive and do not change many lines of code, so this is generally easy. > So perhaps this mail is a waste of your time, so sorry. No, it isn't. Ideas/discussion on how to improve work on an issue is always good.
