Linus has kicked out linux v3.9-rc1 and as such I've created respective linux-3.9.y branches for compat, compat-drivers and alx. What I'll do for alx is maintain the linux-3.9.y branch myself in which I'll only pull in patches from master if they are stable material. Obviously I'd only take in patches to the linux-3.9.y branch if the patch is merged upstream into Adrian's master branch already. The linux-3.9.y branch allows us to synchronize releases along with the Linux releases given that the master branch of alx runs in synch always with linux-next and FreeBSD HEAD. Adrian if you'd like to carry / publish my branch: git remote add mcgrof git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/alx.git git fetch mcgrof I didn't need to make any changes, so I just created the linux-3.9.y branch and added the alx-linux-v3.9-rc1-1 digitally signed tag. This branch / tag is what will go out in the compat-driver-v3.9-rc1-1 release.
