AFAIK he does. I always apply a single patch. The individual patches
are in the break-out directory for easy viewing but the actual dir
contains the patch that contains all the break-out patches AFAIK.

Well I always have a full rollup there, such as
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test4/2.6.0-test4-mm4/2.6.0-test4-mm4.gz
Is that what you mean?
(It would be good to add -aa patchsets too).

I might be able to do this. However, please understand, everyone, that
having to write individual scripts for each kernel author is turning
into a horrible pain in the ass. I think the only sane way to do this
is to come up with a standard directory layout for specific user patches.

Or you could just post a few example scripts, along with a few more
comments about how hard this is.
Then you can watch your fence get whitewashed for free.

No, thanks. The one thing worse than dealing with my own scripts
breaking when something changes (like the -test kernels broke the -ac
detect script recently) is to have *someone else's* scripts break -- I'm
still the one who gets complained at.

What are you smoking ?? It's a single patch .. that you can apply on top of

Woah, calm down dude.
Scripts had to be written for both ac, and dj. More likely now that there
are more users, a standard directory layout, and file naming structure will
be put in place so one script can handle them all.

Hehe, I wish I had sent that email early in the morning, not in the
evening before putting away the computer :-) I could have had an online
show over this minor, trivial issue :-)
Anyway, now that the fact is clear that there actually exist -mm
patches, we'll be _patiently_ waiting for hpa's work on the -mm scripts,
or any other solution for that matter. It's up to you and I think a lot
of people would be glad and thankful for the brilliant scripting work
of the www.kernel.org web admin.
Regards, have a good day folks,
Maciej

Dude, manic much? You seriously need to relax.
hpa can do whatever he wants - he admins the damn thing. But it is
obvious he was just unclear that the -mm patches are in fact available
in a single patch.

Relax... you should learn to be patient when it comes to people providing
you a service.
