Josh, I review the autogenerated list of commits, patch by patch, myself, before sending it out. So there is a human involved in the process. Admittingly I'm not perfect and things do slip by once in a while. I always look back and try to improve the process. Although the sample size is small now (~600 commits proposed and merged using this method) I don't belive the error rate is higher than the error rate for "regular" stable tree commits. I'd treat autoselection as a helper tool for the stable tree maintainer rather than a magical way to produce stable commits (we're not going to replace Greg with a robot any time soon). -- Thanks, Sasha _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
