Add SPDX kernel tree to linux-next
Hi,
I realized that I've been sending patches to Linus from my "SPDX" kernel tree for a few releases now, and it's not included in linux-next, which is not good.
So, could you please add the kernel tree / branch at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/spdx.git spdx-linus
to linux-next?
thanks,
greg k-h

Added from today. One question: is this meant to be a -next tree or a -fixes tree?
Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next. As you may know, this is not a judgement of your code. The purpose of linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window.
You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have been:
* submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's Signed-off-by,
* posted to the relevant mailing list,
* reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
* successfully unit tested, and
* destined for the current or next Linux merge window.
Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him to fetch). It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

A "-fixes" tree, it should be sent to Linus for the latest release.

OK, I will move it up among the other -fixes trees from tomorrow.
