Hi Matthias:
the previous patch is submitted by zijun , as he is not working on
this
project, I take over his job, so can we assume abandon the previous
patch,
using my new patch ? thank you.
regards.
Your patch is clearly based on zijun's one, it even has the same
subject. A
change of authorship shouldn't result in resetting the version number,
it's
still the same patch/series. You can always add a 'Co-developed-by:'
tag to
indicate that someone else contributed to a patch, or use a 'From:' tag
if
you only made minor changes on top of someone else's work.
Not sure how to proceed best with the version number, especially since
there
are already 3 versions of the 'new' patch. Either option can create
confusion,
I guess you can continue with the new scheme, it seems the patch is
almost
ready to land anyway.
