I am usually committing directly, except when I am not sure myself that this is the right thing to do, in which case I post on the list first, and then sometimes commit the change, sometimes not. So it's up to you, for changes you are sure of or that have already been discussed, just commit them, and use the list if you think something needs to be discussed first. Remember, the whole idea of a separate 3.0.0 branch is that you can put all your changes there quickly. Before you start really working on the 3.0.0 branch, we should sync it with the current trunk. Mark created the 3.0.0 branch quite some time ago, many fixes have gone into trunk since then, and I would hate to lose them. I don't know how this is done though. Mark, can you please take care of it? Maybe just kill the branch and recreate it? I also don't know how we are going to handle the later trunk changes, once 3.0.0 development is in progress. Some changes won't apply to the 3.0.0 branch (e.g. adding support for a new chip in libsensors) but many will. Once real work starts on this branch, it should be documented on our Download page how to get the code, if we want testers. It would also be convenient to have nightly snapshots as we do for the trunk version. Axel, can this be done? Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
