new handling for applying patches
Alexander Aring
maintainerHi,
over irc, means:
irc.freenode.net #linux-wireless (there exist also a #linux-wpan channel)
Marcel offered this:
<qoute>
20:04 < holtmann> eintopf: If you want to make your life a bit simpler, you or the driver maintainer can just ack patches and I apply them to bluetooth-next tree.
20:05 < holtmann> eintopf: Seriously I can just take them straight out of linux-wpan mailing list of you want. It is dead simple for me.
20:06 < holtmann> We need to get to a level where net/6lowpan/ dependencies on Bluetooth and IEEE 802.15.4 are not affecting itself that much anymore and then you can just submit directly to wireless-next
tree.
20:07 < holtmann> So if you want to focus on hacking on the code, I can take care of getting you a tree you can work in.
</qoute>
That's a very nice offer and I will accept it. Thanks.
The new behaviour:
- 802.15.4: base on bluetooth-next and send it to linux-wpan.
- Here Marcel waits for driver maintainers or me.
- 6LoWPAN GENERIC: base on bluetooth-next and send it to linux-wpan, linux-bluetooth.
- Here Marcel waits for Jukka or me.
Hope that is okay. We need to do this until:
"We need to get to a level where net/6lowpan/ dependencies on Bluetooth and IEEE 802.15.4 are not affecting itself that much anymore"
then we can send 802.15.4 patches (hopefully pull-request, yea I will learn that) also to wireless/wireless-next.
Hope all are fine with this solution at the moment.
