clearinghouse for your patches - I want your patches!

[Cort Dougan]

There are a lot of patches to linux/ppc that I can't absorb into the main
tree quickly enough.  It'll be increasingly difficult for me to change
things now that 2.2 is out.

I get a lot of requests for the very features that a lot of these patches
provide so I'd like to give some space to them at linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu.
Web and ftp so people can find what they need easily and quickly.

I'd also like to be able to look through the patches often so I don't
stomp on the changes they make or redo the work.  It'll also help
synchronize things since several people out there are doing the same
things and it's a lot easier for you to sync among yourselves rather than
me communicate with all of you individually :)

Can the people out there with patches please send me mail?  I'd like to
set you up with some web/ftp space and an account so you can drop things
off easily.

Just curious: 

Will the patches that were already in the vger tree before the official
release of 2.2.0 make it into mainstream 2.2 soon? I am talking about
those that were in the last vger snapshot (pre9 = 2.2.0-final) that
managed to escape before the door was closed (it's on your site,
anyway). For example, atyfb-v1.101 vs 1.98 in the official 2.2.0, or
BenH's patches to drivers/macintosh/mac_keyb.c.

Most likely.  I'm negotiating that now.

The changes will stay in vger but may have some trouble getting into Linus'
tree right away.  They eventually will be in Linus' tree, though.  I keep
regular snapshots at ftp://linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu/pub/linuxppc/kernel-sources/
of the vger tree.  I just made one this evening of vger 2.2.0 (no pre-patch).

I sent the video patches to Linus yesterday.
