I wasn't planning on putting out another 1.42 maintenance branch, mainly because I just don't have the time. So what I've been doing is trying to see if fixes can apply to the maint branch --- and if they can, I'll apply them there and then merge them into the next / master branches. But for patches where the code in question has changed radically between 1.42 and 1.43, I haven't been bothering to try to apply them into the maint branch, mainly because that just causes patch conflicts lately. I'm planning on retiring the 1.42 maint branch, and merging the maint branch to 1.43, probably after 1.43.2, and then we can start using putting more development related changes to the master/next branches. Any objections to that plan? Is there anyone who needs a 1.42 based maintenance branch for some reason? - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
