git tree plans...

[David Miller]

Here are my immediate plans for the two networking GIT trees:

1) net-2.6

   Nothing special planned, I will keep it stable and
   not pull in linux-2.6's master branch unless something
   potentially creating merge issues arises.

2) net-2.6.26

   Once Linus takes the current changes in net-2.6, I plan
   to pull net-2.6's master into net-2.6.26 in order to
   resolve the wireless and potentially other merge problems

Take care.

This has been done and pushed to kernel.org

GIT tree plans...

[David Miller]

There are a bunch of conflicts to resolve in the net-next-2.6
tree because of things in Linus's tree.

So what I'm going to do is wait for Linus to take in the
net-2.6 pull request I just sent to him.  And afterwards
do all the necessary merges and conflict resolution to
get everything clean again.

Meanwhile I'll purge as much of the pending net-next-2.6
patch queue items as I can.

Just FYI...

After Linus takes in the bug fixes I just sent to him I am
going to rebase the sparc-next-2.6 tree.

I normally wouldn't do this but there is a generic Makefile
change from Sam that causes a bad bisection point for non-
sparc systems so it's a good idea to get rid of that.

I normally wouldn't respin the tree like this, but to cure this
I think it's worth it.

I don't expect that any of my stuff will conflict since it is nicely
self-contained and I checked it against Linus' tree and net-next-2.6,
but just in case it does. Let me know since I can very quickly create a
new tree from my patch queue.

And I am truly sorry for causing this.

I (of any people) should know how to do this right :-(

All of this work has been done and pushed to kernel.org

The new tree boots fine on sparc32.

I just test applied the reamining five patches and only the last
one had a trivial conflict.
Let me know if you want me to post a new set of patches.

I will follow-up whith the fixed patch 5/5 on this mail.

I have a local tree with all of your stuff applied on top
and it's tested even on sparc64 :-)

I want to do some slight rearranging before I publish that
work though, it will be up later today.

Thanks a lot for testing Robert.

Unfortunately I had to rebase the tree one more time, but I'm
pretty sure this is it for now :)
