Does this sound reasonable? David> Anybody want to volunteer for this "Linus watchdog" role? We can do this. We're tracking Linus's tree anyway for the work we're doing. We'd probably do daily automated builds to check that the kernel still compiles cleanly for HPSIM, DIG, and ZX1, but test only weekly. If you have anyu specific configuration options you think should be included, let us know. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au You are lost in a maze of BitKeeper repositories, all slightly different.
