I forgot to add that once we have this sorted out we'll do two other things that you'll like: a) give you BK URL's that don't change (the current URL's are unstable, they are based on revisions and revision numbers are unstable) b) make every changeset (or range of changesets) be something you can grab as a regular diff -Nur style patch. So all the BK users can post to the kernel list and include a URL that you all can wget and there is the patch. No need to use BK at all unless you want to, the data is right there as a patch. All I'm trying to do is to underscore the point that none of you should "be nice" and not beat up on bkbits.net. It's a service, we get at least some benefit from you using the service so bang on it all you want. We'll solve the bandwidth problems. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - 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/
