Things have slowed down lately as I've been getting pulled off to help with other projects, and I've been slacking on getting it upstream but I'm still working on it. On the up side, the stable branch isn't in flux and is being actively deployed, and it's been receiving only bug fixes. I've been chasing bugs in the dev branch for the past couple days though :p My original plan was to try to get bcache into staging as soon as I got all the block layer improvements in that the dev branch depends on, but as I've been slacking on that I think I may try to see if I can get the stable branch forward ported and self contained enough that it can go into staging. I should have time for that pretty soon, I think. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
