Somewhat Greg, it caught me out. OTOH, once we know that .2 needs .1, we'll be ok. And it does give a quick method for us frogs to define if one of them is a regression. The only thing that should break if we leave one out of the squence is the EXTRAVERSION path in the Makefile & we can certainly fix that easily enough for testing. Question? Is it a given that these, if they don't have warts, will be in mainline 2.6.12? >thanks, > >greg k-h >- >To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe > linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
