Hi all, to support Wim in his efforts to maintain the watchdog subsystem, I created two new branches in my repository at kernel.org git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging.git The two branches are watchdog for watchdog patches I believe should be applied to the current upstream kernel watchdog-next for patches I believe are ready to be pushed upstream in the next commit window. Both branches may and will be rebased from time to time as I see fit. watchdog will in general be based on a recent upstream tag, and watchdog-next will be based on watchdog. As of today, the watchdog branch is based on v3.12-rc3. The new branches are not supposed to replace Wim's repository, but to augment it. It enables me to run my own automated build tests (see http://server.roeck-us.net:8010/builders for current build results), and it will hopefully trigger builds by Fengguang's build robots with the various patches applied. I also set up patchwork to track the watchdog mailing lists at http://server.roeck-us.net/project/linux-watchdog/list/. This is mostly for myself to ensure that patches don't get lost, but it is accessible for others as well. I hope this will help Wim in deciding if and when to push patches upstream; at the very least it will provide additional test coverage. Note that I don't plan to add the watchdog-next branch to linux-next, as the decision if and when to push patches upstream is up to Wim to make. Thanks, Guenter --- P.s.: If you are on the Cc: list, it is most likely because you signed off at least one of the patches in one of the branches. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-watchdog" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
