In that document I also give a description of the various trees. Perhaps that document will be useful to you. You can find it in a recent kernel source tree as Documentation/applying-patches.txt or you can read it online via lrx at this URL : http://sosdg.org/~coywolf/lxr/source/Documentation/applying-patches.txt Good luck on your article. Once you are done with it I'd love to read it and I guess a lot of other people would too, so please supply an URL to it at that time :-) -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - 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/
