Hi Andrew, hi Greg, I just saw that the i2c stuff from Greg's tree have been backed out from 2.6.4-rc1-mm1. Quoting the release notes: "bk-i2c.patch was dropped pending it getting its lmsensors act together." I don't quite understand what I am (well, what we are...) supposed to do (actually, I do not even get the meaning of the sentence itself). I clearly exposed my reasons for an interface change and as far as I know, nobody objected to that particular point. The only complaint we got was from Mike Fedyk, and does not concern the kernel part directly. He simply thinks that libsensors should support all 2.6 kernels, while I think it's not worth it. This is not fundamentally linked to the i2c interface change that was in 2.6.3-mm4, since the problem already exists with all versions of the kernel starting from 2.6.0 (lm_sensors 2.8.2 only supports Linux 2.6.0, lm_sensors 2.8.3 only supports Linux 2.6.1, lm_sensors 2.8.4 only supports 2.6.2). So, whether my interface change proposal is accepted or not, Mike's objection already applies. So I don't think that Greg's i2c stuff should have been backed out from Andrew's tree just because of Mike's objection. If we were to accept Mike's objection (which I do not plan to do at the moment, but I may change my mind if more people agree with him), the changes would take place in libsensors, not in the kernel source tree anyway. If there were other objections I am not aware of, please let me know. Thanks. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
