yup, I think I have all of those done now.


external stuff is mainly drivers.  These two:

git://porch.greyhouse.net/gospo/tehuti-2.6.git
ipg-add-ip1000a-driver-to-kernel-tree.patch

plus boatloads of stuff in wireless.


Yeah, git-net versus git-wireless isn't pretty.  The huge amount of pending
wireless stuff has been a bit of a nuisance for some months.  But it's
probably a bigger nuisance for John ;)

I don't know what remains to be done there, but it would be good to dig in
and get it all merged up.  Given the damage which net-2.6.24 does to
git-wireless, that might be tricky, dunno.


Works for me.


I'm finding that most problems are caused by maintainers committing stuff
to their git trees which affects code which other git-tree owners maintain.
Things like git-net playing with git-wireless code, git-block playing with
git-scsi-misc code, etc.

It would suit _me_ better if people were to try harder to merge changes via
the correct maintainer rather than going out-of-scope like this.  But it
would make life quite a lot harder for the people who are doing this
development, so it isn't clear where the line is best drawn.


My current aggregate diff against 2.6.23-rc6 is 28.8MB.  I'm just sitting
here with my head spinning ;)

(I actually got it all to build, boot and run ltp, which was rather
stunning)
