No offense intended, but Rusty's trivial bot is often too slow for critical patches, so trivial-but-critical would be better off going to thru the x.y tree IMO. > That's why I was wondering about why this tree doesn't except trivial changes. It will if they fix real problems that people are experiencing. The trivil bot and/or kernel-janitors paths for patches are better used for slow/non-critical patches, not patches that need quick attention and merging. > Thanks, > Shawn. > > > On March 6, 2005 00:06, you wrote: > >>On Sat, Mar 05, 2005 at 01:16:10AM -0500, Shawn Starr wrote: >> >>>Sounds great, I can be a QA resource for what machines I have. >>> >>>How do people get involved in QAing these releases? >> >>Get the last release and test it out.
