I also tend to use wireless-testing as the main kernel on my laptop, and find it handy at times to have both recent drivers and mac80211 changes in the same tree without resorting to backports or merging the trees myself. Not much problem doing those, but if I'm going to do it anyway... might as well share. So, I'd be willing to help keep it running for a time after said sunset date. > says the diagram is out of date, thats obvious, since wireless tree is now > wireless-drivers and the maintainer is Kalle. > wireless-drivers ----> net -----> linux > So what is the process for wireless-testing tree, the merge of linux, > mac80211and wireless-drivers trees? mac80211 and wireless-drivers go into net, wireless-testing doesn't go upstream; it's exactly just for testing. That said, it's an easy base to work against since all the bits are reasonably up-to-date. -- Bob Copeland %% http://bobcopeland.com/
