That's no excuse, as Adrian pointed it out on LKML since weeks. Also the kernel.org bugzilla has a real flaw: There is no way to get informed of new entries automatically and filtered by Category and Component. At least I did not find a way and bugme-admin@osdl.org seems to be a black hole. The result is that you have to go to bugzilla on a regular base instead of getting automatic notifications of new entries. I do it once in a while, but it is really ineffective. tglx - 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/
