Hi,

First I'll be on vacation next week. I'll not be completely offline, but all replies will be delayed and I won't do much work. It now looks like the merge window might open in that week, if yes I'll only merge the following week.

The trees for the next ACPI merge are at git.kernel.org now These are based on Len's branches with some additional patches.

(based on Linus' tree aka 2.6.26rc9)
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-acpi-2.6.git release Intended for the 2.6.27 merge

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/linux/kernel/ak/linux-acpi-2.6.git test

(based on Linux next for patches with dependencies)
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-next-acpi.git

This is not quite yet the full state intended for the merge, a few patches are still missing.

I would appreciate review and testing. They are currently not in linux-next.

-Andi

If that is true ..

Quoted 1 line

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/linux/kernel/ak/linux-acpi-2.6.git test

Then why is linux-next tracking that?

Is there something we can do about those dependencies?

So what is missing, and why should we merge stuff in 2.6.27 that we don't see until the merge window? (Not trying to be antagonistic, just asking about procedure and wondering why stuff for 2.6.27 is still not in linux-next.)

So maybe I read that wrong. It appears that the release branch is already a subset Linus' tree and you meant that comment ("Intended for the 2.6.27 merge") was meant to apply to the test branch. Right?

This is still a valid question as I have been trying to push trivial dependencies into Linus' tree ...

It is tracking Len's tree not mine, right?

Right now my only has a few patches difference, but it will be growing.

Or did you switch already to mine?

It's some patches from Henrique that require rfkill changes in the net tree. I'm also not happy about that (it complicates everything here), but cannot do much about it.

Because they're small fixes and would go in later anyways.

And because I haven't gone through all of them yet due to time reasons, but I cannot say categorically I'll delay them all.

OK. This is all not so relevant since I misread above.
