Sorry, I was not aware of this list... My bad...
I'll know for next time. Thanks!
> qualification for a patch to be added to the stable releases?
I believe it qualifies because:
- it is rather trivial
- it breaks the build for users that tweak the kernel configuration from
an upper-layer (aka 'integrated') build-system, using this script which
is bundled with the kernel in the first place.
- I am a 'real people', and 'it bothers' me ;-)
OTOH, it does not qualify because:
- there is no Tested-by:
- I forgot to specify which version it should be applied to
- obviously, this fix is not yet in Linus' tree
So, please drop from -stable.
If you think that the first item, above, warrants a -stable fix, then I'll
properly re-submit once the patch is in Linus' tree.
Michal, should I re-send an updated patch whithout the CC:stable?
Sorry for the noise.
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
