Sorry, I meant "bigger favour" relative to carrying an own delta of considerable size. Packaging linux-next would be fine if the workload isn't a problem for the packager. As pointed out elsewhere, there are caveats with linux-next (e.g. a functionality which was in it yesterday could be gone today because of a merge issue), but that's the nature of bleeding edge of course. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--= --== ---== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
