Linville" To: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org Subject: new stuff for 3.18 needs to be posted _now_ Message-ID: <20141002185258.GE12208@tuxdriver.com> (sfid-20141002_210019_067004_D42A4012) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: You may have noticed that Linus has released 3.17-rc7. So, the merge window for 3.18 is around the corner! For those that need a reminder, the opening of the merge window is a _deadline_ for new features. Once the merge window opens, only fixes will be accepted for 3.18. In fact, any non-fix patches need to already be in wireless-next when the merge window opens if you want them in 3.18. That means you need to get them posted _now_, so they can be reviewed and I can find time to merge them before the deadline. In fact, at this point I'm can't be sure that I will have enough time to merge anything else in time for the window. Linus has been a bit unclear about how this merge window will be handled, so YMMV -- we may have to play this one by ear... You have been warned...this means you! John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@tuxdriver.com might be all we have. Be ready.
