The ieee1394 tree lost its build failure. The wireless tree gained conflicts against the wireless-current tree. The sound tree lost its conflict. The input tree gained a conflict against Linus' tree. The voltage tree gained a build failure so I used the version from next-20101213. The swiotlb-xen tree lost its build failure. The cleancache tree gained a conflict against the vfs-scale tree. [ /QUOTE ] First of all congrats to all involved parties so that the work of Nick was accepted as "vfs-scale" into linux-next! I played yesterday with the new refreshed patchset (manually merged and fixed) against systemd-v15 with kgdb/kdb. Oh yes, there is a "dmesg" command :-) and with "btp $pid" I yesterday night saw a NULL dereference in the backtrace. Currently, I am compiling linux-next (next-20101214) and will take some pictures with my digicam. Some recommends (not that I want to teach you as GIT is for me new playground and I follow mostly the commit-messages, which not means I understand the complexity of the patchset), but ... 1. Please give commits a proper/sane "commit subject" "Build fix" or "Fixed build failure" is not saying much. 2. Add credits for people investing time to test and report Same commits did not have also credits for people reporting the build failures. A reference to LKML posting would be fine in the "commit-body" (sorry for my comparison with Email, do not know the GIT term). This all is not to punish you, it is for following and documenting the whole process. Peter Hutterer has a wonderful blog article "On commit messages" concerning this topic. If all of us would follow them, the working-together will be more fruitful.
