That was the original plan. Not sure why that got changed. If there is good reason for it we can change it. > > In either case, do you expect patches against the xfs-dev or the master > tree?

We would prefer patches based on the master branch but patches can be against the mainline, master or xfs-dev branches. If a patch against mainline or xfs-dev doesn't apply cleanly to the master branch we may ask the author to rebase that patch against the master branch. If a patch to the master branch needs auxillary changes to files that only exist in the xfs-dev branch (ie xfsidbg stuff) we may ask for an additional patch from the author. We'll update the docs, thanks for that. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
