Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Getting trivial patches applied between the various maintainers and the trivial tree is most often a bit uncoordinated and haphazard. Doing micropatches for each subsystem maintainer does sometimes appear to be detrimental to getting any treewide modification applied. I've experimented with both micropatches and treewide patches to gauge what happens. I'm not sure either approach is better or worse. In any case, it commonly takes several submittals for these sort of trivial patches to get applied either by the subtree maintainer or by Jiri. Jiri often waits a few weeks for patches to get picked up by any subtree maintainer before looking at his trivial emails. Sometimes he acks what's left, sometimes what's left just disappears into the ethervoid waiting for the submitter to try again. No worries, that's just the way it is. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
