Inclusion inquiry about remaining patches

Inclusion inquiry about remaining patches

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hi,


there are about 70 patches left that I intended to submit, but it seems 
Netfilter stagnated again this release. Is there still a chance for 
inclusion in this round?


thanks,
Jan

Well, the last batch didn't exactly fill me with confidence that
these patches have been sufficiently tested.

I'll consider the cleanup batch if you can assure me that it
doesn't contain bugs similar to the "lost POSTROUTING chain"
problem contained in the last series that should have been
noticed with just some basic testing.

They have had their testing, and the error had been caught too
by Changli merely by reading the patch:

http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=125732159605634&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=125733769630550&w=2

I still have blob 685400 in my working copy, though it seems unreachable 
at this time, which means it sometime got lost in a rebase.

OK fair enough, I'll have another look once I'm finished with
my current work.
