I'll help w/ patch > preparation... At this point I'm probably a week away from having something with the obvious bugs all fixed, at which point I can start submitting it back upstream. The few patches I have to common infrastructure I'll just submit to libc-alpha as git patches, then I'll probably just send a two-part patch set to libc-ports, one with the linux/generic stuff, and one with the tile-specific stuff. (It looks like changes are never made as "git pull" requests on the glibc lists, just as emailed unidiffs -- someone correct me if I'm wrong.) Linas, if you can wait a week I'd rather have you see the stuff I believe to be working 100% to get maximum use out of you as a reviewer :-) If you need it sooner, of course, I'm happy to let you have something now. -- Chris Metcalf, Tilera Corp. http://www.tilera.com
