Subject: [uml-devel] UML merge in after 2.6.8.1 - what to do now
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 21:40:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200408302140.15460.blaisorblade_spam@yahoo.it> (raw)

I've just seen in my mailbox the mails from Andrew Morton to Linus Torvalds, 
which contain the UML merge - 2.6.9-rc1-mm1 already lists them as merged, as 
you can check here: http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3720

Now, how will we work? I have some ideas about this, which I'd like to discuss 
with everybody here. I think that the UML patch will become the "development 
tree" of UML, where new patches hang around to get some testing, while the 
mainline kernel should get only safe patches. For instance, for now the humfs 
and filehandle work must *not* go in mainline, since they are highly 
experimental.

Also, the various uml patch should never be actually "merged" inside the UML 
patch: it must always be a patchset, i.e. a collection of separate patches. 
Like -mm. So merging with mainline will be easier, as reviewing separate 
patches or dropping bad ones.
