Are you happy now, patrick? Why do you insist on abusing the trivial patch monkey? Why can't you send them directly to the maintainers? For instance, you add/remove printk()s and comments that other people may or may not want in there. But no, this doesn't make me happy because you insist on munging multiple patches together that have little to do with each other, besides the fact they touch the same file. Like I said in private email, it really helps to track down a problem if each patch and subsequent changeset is as small and localized as possible. And, that's a real problem with swsusp. It's a huge mess right now. I'd like to see it work well and reliably for 2.6, and have the source code be in a state where people can look at it without running away screaming. Convoluted updates are not going to help the situation. -pat - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
