What we'd prefer to see is patches that match upstream or, at the very least, patches that match a repository that is a maintainer branch leading to mainline inclusion[1]. This patchset has patches that just say things like "no" and "never" for Patch-mainline without any explanation as to why. It seems we need to be a bit more vigilant with our policy enforcement.
P.S. I always thought those arm64 patches were 13.2 only...
As opposed to the master branch or something else? I'd expect that anything in an older openSUSE release would still be supported in a newer one unless the hardware is going out of scope.
AFAIU agraf prepared a patchset to backport arm64 PCI/network for 13.2, so that people have a usable stable release for Mustang and Seattle with our 3.16 kernel. Makes sense to me.
So yes, I am surprised that non-mainline patches end up on master branch as opposed to just waiting until final patches trickle through maintainers' trees into linux.git and the next -rc or tarball.
For hardware enablement, I get it. If people have hardware in hand, it can be bothersome to wait for the wheels to turn. In that case, I want to see mailing list references for the patches. Even if we're the ones doing the development, the work should still be public enough that references are available. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVBvwZAAoJEB57S2MheeWyo8UP/ikKOgpQLG5v3pvWybND4UO/ grUZDN92wIEQkgyW0OUAIKDY13406SlEaJ1nmAERmx4+Zlu6NvPiS934ymt9bRiO XUi0iDbYyQD1Y6zbRd3vHWR3ixKJhUYq060yWzXC2hJLB3tuTGg2+WnxE/YktUB2 BEUtnAmIRH/Y/O/Z+Qi3Z2LpgRFh70Fy7+Toeiwbs7GP0HepJLgYMRtDjclTRCLe YJJzJq8JZF3qzSzoiQCpv9cKYIAOwzPV9EVtD382HiV6N9XhRb9L4vCaj/DWGK5t 9jMfkagRkwzdiCkv1YpjV1BQjzj3eXixMHKwXNUB3L+einmmaMy3vZCn9bL9Kf89 H/5cRTgj3eEcNv7kfp6bhrWhlLrHONbLz163pKD30B7LfrPYdNcg+Nb3vdH/z4lu qfk2g/R4uqaxQRp/FdcYtdEIo9F88Hq0pXfd35lzCE5s/JutOTYs/B7urBoABrQS TRe1XoPa7AnSuSpvXLHiUQZG9OSJaM96aaN7Gg0s7E7ZXH3OCm5o7IOFLjStgAf2 eir8AvaBImttAtZNyb4xhhnT7/mUI7r7YN1s/duqToSqOi7Lqa8IwIva8Kbta3ZS NOOD79/dmhD6yZh072BB/0Oemu3Km12A9FQsQNMTPUmWXijii43UhjaTRHoxZfBv ZTseJtKuJisTQ14tj4Nu =e1c8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
