Hi. I have added support for Adaptec's SAS adp94xx driver to kernel-2.6 tree and would like to post to kernel.org developers. How do this?
Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches and Documentation/HOWTO in the kernel source. In a nutshell; you create a patch file (read the above documents to learn how to create a proper one), then you email your patch (inline in the mail, using a mail client that doesn't mangle it) to the Linux Kernel Mailing list <linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and CC the author of the original code as well as any current maintainers of the code (check the MAINTAINERS file in the source as well as possibly comments in the top of the files you have changed). Then you wait for feedback and fix any problems that people may point out with your patch. Once it's in an acceptable state, the maintainer of the code in question or the 2.6 maintainer should be willing to merge it and take care of submission to mainline. -- Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
