As for-next carries a lot of stuff that has limited testing, it is nice to help limit the footprint of possible adverse interactions and to for sure determine it exists solely say within Jens' for-4.20/block tree. For future reference, something like the following works as a way to keep multiple remotes in the same repo. git remote add block https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux-block.git git fetch git checkout -b for-4.20/block -t block/for-4.20/block This checks out the for-4.20/block branch from the remote block as a local branch called for-4.20/block. > Result: > > Script started on 2018-10-19 22:29:32-04:00 > [root@turing-police x86_64]# uname -a > Linux turing-police.cc.vt.edu 4.19.0-rc8-next-20181019-dirty #641 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 19 21:18:19 EDT 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > [root@turing-police x86_64]# rpm -Uvh --force dracut-049-4.git20181010.fc30.x86_64.rpm > Verifying... ################################# [100%] > warning: Unable to get systemd shutdown inhibition lock: Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory > Preparing... ################################# [100%] > Updating / installing... > 1:dracut-049-4.git20181010.fc30 ################################# [100%] > [root@turing-police x86_64]# exit > exit > > Script done on 2018-10-19 22:29:59-04:00 > > System stable, RPM works, dnf works, some good-sized compiles worked. > > Looks like it's time to commit that, and add these: > > Reported-by: Valdis Kletnieks <valdis.kletnieks@xxxxxx> > Tested-by: Valdis Kletnieks <valdis.kletnieks@xxxxxx> > > :) Fantastic! Thanks for working with me and reporting the issue on for-next. I'll run the series with the above tomorrow to Jens. Thanks, Dennis
