Linville" To: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org Subject: new stuff for 3.3 needs to be posted _now_ Message-ID: <20111219184943.GA31462@tuxdriver.com> (sfid-20111219_200035_667499_9E9914A2) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: You may have noticed that Linus has released 3.2-rc6, and doesn't plan to go beyond -rc7. So, the merge window is around the corner! For those that need a reminder, the opening of the merge window is a _deadline_ for new features. Once the merge window opens, only fixes will be accepted for 3.3. In fact, any non-fix patches need to already be in wireless-next when the merge window opens if you want them in 3.3. That means you need to get them posted _now_, so they can be reviewed and I can find time to merge them before the deadline. Just for the record, my employer will be shutdown starting on Friday and through the New Year's celebration. I will probably pay some attention to my email over that break, but not as much as usual. I will not go to any great lengths to turn your failure to plan into my emergency -- sorry. You have been warned...this means you! John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@tuxdriver.com might be all we have. Be ready.
