Would it be possible (from now on) to publish changes relevant to the previous patch (eventually leading to a series of patches that describes the evolution of the new scheduler) so that it's easier for us reviewers/critics to see the latest changes. E.g. if import such changes into something like quilt (using my gquilt GUI wrapper, of course :-)) I can then use meld (or similar) to follow what's going as suggestions get folded in and bugs get fixed etc. Thanks Peter -- Peter Williams pwil3058@bigpond.net.au "Learning, n.
