Re: [iPAQ] HH Patches

Tim,

Calm down.

Please see:

http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/

more specificly:

http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/?action=section&section=0
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/?action=section&section=20

You will see that, every patch is sent up stream. Sometimes to the ARM
maintainer Russell King (RMK). Sometimes to the maintainer. Most of the
time, these patches are accepted, sometimes they are not. Even if a patch is
accepted, the user will have to wait until the next kernel.org Linux release
or RMK patch release until the new code is available.

Andrew is 100% correct. The "complete" hh.org patches are only available
through the linux/kernel CVS tree on handhelds.org. This is the current
system that has been in place for getting new patches into the Linux kernel.
It has been this way for a very long time. If you do not like the way the
system works, I would suggest that you take it up with RMK and Linus. I
would welcome any improvements.

Best Regards,
