Hello Neil , Is it possible to inert in the 'Introduction's for your
patches a Min & Max kernel level they will successfully patch
against ? ie: 2.6.12 to 2.6.14-rc4 or some such .
That would sure take the angst out of guessing . Tia , JimL
I could certainly be more precise about which kernel they are created
against (it is usually the latest 2.6-mm) .
Perfect . Would you please insert the full kernel source version
number the patches were created from in with the 'Introductions' ,
Please ?
but it would be a lot of
work to figure out how far back you can safely go and still have the
patch usefully apply, and I'm not sure that it is really worth it, is
it?
Not really what I was looking for . Was thinking more on the lines of
the last kernel version that had accepted a previous patch set of
yours as a approximation of patch'ability . That sound do able ?
If you want to help test raid patch (and I do appreciate the help), it
is really best if you use the most recent kernel, otherwise there
could be unexpected interactions which invalidate the test.
I am definately willing to test patch sets . Whether I'll be able to
do so for very long is another matter . Tnx , JimL
