Just my 2c worth on this topic, since I like the current process, and I believe making it too formal is probably going to make things suck too much. I'd rather Daniel was slowing you guys down up front more, I don't give a crap about Intel project management or personal manager relying on getting features merged when, I do care that you engineers when you merge something generally get transferred 100% onto something else and don't react strongly enough to issues on older code you have created that either have lain dormant since patches merged or are regressions since patches merged. So I believe the slowing down of merging features gives a better chance of QA or other random devs of finding the misc regressions while you are still focused on the code and hitting the long term bugs that you guys rarely get resourced to fix unless I threaten to stop pulling stuff. So whatever Daniel says goes as far as I'm concerned, if I even suspect he's taken some internal Intel pressure to merge some feature, I'm going to stop pulling from him faster than I stopped pulling from the previous maintainers :-), so yeah engineers should be prepared to backup what they post even if Daniel is wrong, but on the other hand they need to demonstrate they understand the code they are pushing and sometimes with ppgtt and contexts I'm not sure anyone really understands how the hw works let alone the sw :-P Dave. _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
