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 > > --- -barry -- 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
