Well, I'm not against a company address at all, I myself am employed and use company address very often. And I really welcome some one to come up and take the responsibility of some orphaned code. But the first impression of this, to me, it's more like a Broadcom internal policy to assign someone or not (maybe some work transition of Leo Chen). And I haven't seen much contribution from JD so far, honestly, (but doesn't mean I don't believe he's going to contribute a lot). Sorry, JD, I was a bit rude on this and this is not personal at all. Nice to know you actually, bcmring was not actively maintained since last year.

My company wants to have an engineer to be the contact point and submit patch for BCMRING code and as Leo is not longer with our company I took over this responsibility from him so that any BCMRING maintenance issue or question will be directed to me firstly in Broadcom. I'd say I am new as a *direct* kernel contributor and I have a lot to learn. I understand I need to show some credits by submitting patches, etc. and I will.

I know it is better to use git to create patch in the future and seems I just need to clone linus' release tree (git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git) instead of arm linux tree (linux-arm.org/linux-2.6-stable.git) to make change and create patches, is this correct understanding?

Note that the linux-arm tree is ARM Ltd's tree, and isn't a tree which feeds directly into Linus' tree. You can find that via http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/ but I suggest that you use Linus' tree as a base line unless I have something which conflicts in my tree. I maintain three primary branches: - master, for stuff scheduled for -rc - devel, for stuff scheduled for the next merge window, and is unstable (iow, commits don't have a stable ID, so it is inadvisable to base work off this.) - devel-stable, for stuff scheduled for the next merge window, where the commits are immutable. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
