Hello,
would not it be nice to have Andrew's -mm patches on the web
for people to easily get them?
How about putting links to -mm kernels, which are important
testbeds as -ac ?
Best Regards,
Maciej

I think he's saying, why not put a link to the mm kernels from the
http://www.kernel.org homepage, just like the ac kernels... At least that's
how I read it.

Ok, then I can agree with that.

Can't do it. The -mm kernels aren't a single patch, they're patch sets,
and they won't work with the system that we have set up. If akpm wants
to make a unified patch for each patch set in addition to the set itself
then it can be done.

AFAIK he does. I always apply a single patch. The individual patches
are in the break-out directory for easy viewing but the actual dir
contains the patch that contains all the break-out patches AFAIK.

Well I always have a full rollup there, such as
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test4/2.6.0-test4-mm4/2.6.0-test4-mm4.gz
Is that what you mean?
(It would be good to add -aa patchsets too).

Woah, calm down dude.
Scripts had to be written for both ac, and dj. More likely now that there
are more users, a standard directory layout, and file naming structure will
be put in place so one script can handle them all.

I might be able to do this. However, please understand, everyone, that
having to write individual scripts for each kernel author is turning
into a horrible pain in the ass. I think the only sane way to do this
is to come up with a standard directory layout for specific user patches.

Dude, manic much? You seriously need to relax.
hpa can do whatever he wants - he admins the damn thing. But it is
obvious he was just unclear that the -mm patches are in fact available
in a single patch.

Relax... you should learn to be patient when it comes to people providing
you a service.

No, thanks. The one thing worse than dealing with my own scripts
breaking when something changes (like the -test kernels broke the -ac
detect script recently) is to have *someone else's* scripts break -- I'm
still the one who gets complained at.

Or you could just post a few example scripts, along with a few more
comments about how hard this is.
Then you can watch your fence get whitewashed for free.

Hehe, I wish I had sent that email early in the morning, not in the
evening before putting away the computer :-) I could have had an online
show over this minor, trivial issue :-)
Anyway, now that the fact is clear that there actually exist -mm
patches, we'll be _patiently_ waiting for hpa's work on the -mm scripts,
or any other solution for that matter. It's up to you and I think a lot
of people would be glad and thankful for the brilliant scripting work
of the http://www.kernel.org web admin.
Regards, have a good day folks,
