Well, -- there was dual authorship. I remangled the patches while Manish wrote code & tested. And I'd mailed them out the first time around, so you could say I forwarded after heavy editing. > This obviously isn't true, since you are actually the one who is sending > out the patches.

I wanted to indicate that the work was done while I was at IBM; clearly, no one is going through git and changing old, expired email addrs, and so submission based on the old addr seemed appropriate. I'm taking the Signed-off-by line as a quasi-legal thing: a fancy ID string, identifying the author(s), rather than a new way to manage email address books. > So, depending on which of you two wrote the majority of a patch, I think > it should be either I'm not sure there was a clear majority. I think Manish did more work in general, but we hacked this together side by side. I got him to create working tested code; I busted it up into individual, clean, documented, mailing-list ready chunks. --linas _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
