In order to aid the efforts to upstream the kernel portions of OVS, I've created a new tree on kernel.org that's available at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jesse/openvswitch.git
The interesting branch is called upstream-prep. At the moment it contains just direct copies of the core OVS kernel files (i.e. those that do not contain purely compatibility code) on top of a net-next tree along with some makefiles. This means that at the moment it does not compile since there are some references to the code that I deleted. For patches that apply to both the OVS and upstream repositories (such as bug fixes) please continue to send them against the OVS repository. Once committed there, I will cross-port them or queue them for upstream. For patches that apply solely to the upstream repository (for example, to make it compile or remove compatibility code), please provide patches against that repository and I will apply them. Once we are ready to submit upstream, I will squash the commits on this branch and submit that patch. At that point, I'll also delete the upstream-prep branch (since it will have a lot of noise that won't appear in the upstream version) and switch over to a more normal strategy for managing pending upstream code. I'll send out an email when I do that. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
