Where to send patch files?

Where to send patch files?

[Brown, David (dbrown03)]

I have linux-2.2.13 working on a Harris modem platform.
I started with the hardhat version, but added flash drivers from Wolfgang
Denk.
I extended the flash drivers to support JEDEC identification, Intel
write/erase commands, and multiple kinds of flash per board.
Also, of course, I added support for the modem platform I was using.

The question:  Where should I send the 19K patch file?
Minimally I'll send it to Dan Malek, someone at Montavista, and Wolfgang
Denk.
Should I send it to others as well, or maybe just send it to this list?

Patches for anything we ship can be sent to <source@mvista.com>.  I
can't promise that every patch we get will be incorporated into our
code.

It's helpful if you separate big patches by functionality (e.g.,
different patches for your flash changes and the changes to support
your unique hardware).  Try to base your patches on a common base we
both have access to--for us, a particular Hard Hat Linux package is
best.  Remember to tell us what the base is :-).

Please include a cc: to the mailing list, so that those of us who wish to be
on the bleeding edge can keep up to date with what's going on.

Please do NOT send something that large and transient to the list, it'll
be rejected. Do make it available on an FTP or web site and post the URL
to the list.
