Unfortunately on May 6th when bob e-mailed that he'd pulled the patch into ACPICA, he replied to that branch of the thread and not the original. If I pulled from Bob instantaneously, you'd have got a reject when creating -mm on that day. As it turns out, we had more urgent fish to fry that day, so it came out the end of the ACPICA->Linux pipe later. > Well someone has now merged something else which wrecked this patch > whcih I've been maintaining (for you guys!) for over two months. > > I'll drop it. Please try harder. Please do drop it, because it is already in linux-acpi. It probably didn't reject cleanly because Lindent is too. In the future, please simply do not accept patches to drivers/acpi/*/* (the ACPICA files) into -mm. Instead, bounce them to the Linux/ACPI maintainer, who will bounce them to the ACPICA maintainer -- which is the head of the stream for these sub-directories. Yes, I could have and should have asked you to drop these ACPICA cleanups back when I bounced them to Bob. I certainly don't want to create more work for you. thanks, -Len -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
