If so, I apologise; please could you resend? > David, I seemed to recall that you were initially pulling (just copying with a cronjob, iirc) files from firmware/ in Linus' tree to your linux-firmware git tree. That was why I was a bit confused that these were out of sync. I see now that the last time you did this was here: commit 72cf26d513496edfaaf6be7c605dd57f7b44e073 Merge: 2d07c7d 7936fd8 Author: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 6 08:20:09 2010 +0100 Merge legacy kernel source firmware/ directory from 2.6.35 and that explains how we missed the bnx2 firmware changes. Does this mean you will not be merging from Linus going forward? Thanks, -andy -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
