I interpreted your "So much for the linux-next tree" as saying "well, that has been no help". I am sorry if I got that wrong. But my point above is that you had a fix for the current breakage in Linus' tree a couple of weeks before you sent the patches to Linus that broke the powerpc build (i.e. linux-next did its job) and yet you didn't combine the fix with the original patch or send the fix with the original patch. So we end up with a powerpc tree that won't build in the middle of the merge window while more powerpc patches are trying to be tested ... I understand that this could easily happen because of forgetfulness, tiredness or accident. More care was needed. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
