If you think you cringe when sending a trivial patch there wait till you send the 20th revision of a patch that get_maintainer says needs to be cross posted to half a dozen mailing lists... :-) Posting to lkml is more than just informative. There are actually automated tool that will pick your patch and run it through a bunch of static analysers tools and try to compile it and sometime boot on a dozen different archs. Besides, lkml is a fire host as it is... :-) Gilad > Thanks again! > Stephen > -- Gilad Ben-Yossef Chief Coffee Drinker "If you take a class in large-scale robotics, can you end up in a situation where the homework eats your dog?" -- Jean-Baptiste Queru
