Hi Linus, Andrew,
Now that we are (presumably) approaching the next merge window, can I ask
what use (if any) will you be making of the linux-next tree?
Alternatively, is there any information you want from it?--=20
Cheers,

Hi,
I'd like some clarification about the future (use) of linux-next
and Andrew's -mm patch series. They duplicate a lot of the major
git tree or quilt patch series. Can we expect both of them to
continue as is or will -mm be a patch series on top of linux-next
or what?--

afacit it's already working. The level of merge and build errors in the
subsystem trees this time around is a tiny fraction of what it was at the
same stage in 2.6.24-rcX. otoh perhaps this is because Ingo got tired ofThere are 60 or 80 "susbsytem" trees hosted in -mm at present:
...
# spi
# mfd
# vt
# kprobes
# quota
# i4l
# i2o
# ecryptfs
# autofs
# rtc
# gpio
# fbdev
# md
# pnp
# ext2
# ext3
# ufs
# udf
# reiserfs
# fat
# documentation
# cgroups
# memcgroup
# cpusets
# signals
# pgrp
# ptrace
# workqueues
# cpu hotplug
# kdump
# dma
# ipc
# ipmi
# tty
# elf
# char
# keys
<etc>I need to find a way to a) get matureish parts of those trees into
linux-next and to b) base the rest of -mm off linux-next. I haven't
started thinking about that yet.There seem to be some trees which aren't yet in linux-next, some of them
significant. The present list I'm pulling from isgit-acpi

AFAIK, this is also in linux-next.

PowerPC is included as powerpc-next in the linux-next tree.
