I've pushed out a few changes to compat / compat-drivers worth mentioning:
* all patches are now under patches/ including:
- pending-stable/
- linux-next-cherry-picks/
- linux-next-pending/
- crap/
* backport patches are now called collateral-evolutions/ under patches/
* ./scripts/admin-update.sh supports -b for a basic update
* ./scripts/admin-update.sh now supports drivers in a unified driver format.
Patches for such drivers are placed under patches/unified-drivers/. If you
want these drivers you can supply -u option to admin-update.sh and
the -u tag
will be added. This is to help with killing proprietary drivers
and an attempt
me and Adrian have been dreaming up. At this point there is
nothing formal but a
template and you can find the example driver we're trying to work on here:
- git://github.com/mcgrof/alx.git
This should help with a few things. For starters it means we don't
need to carry
the alx driver as crap/ patches. It also provides a template for
working on a
unified driver strategy that we can help review / participate in.
compat-drivers goes now compile tested against next-20121130, here are
the results:
