Hi all,

Alan & me have been talking about this during Plumbers, so I went ahead
and worked on getting it all set up.

The list is now up and running & you can sign up if you're interested,
we'll be using it in parallel to LKML in the beginning I think.

I'm currently working on getting a list archive setup over at marc.info.

If you have comments or suggestions on alternatives, send me an email.

Cheers,

Moritz

Hi all,

Lately we've fallen behind a bit on reviewing patches lately.

'Behind the scenes', Alan has worked on getting a git tree setup
for us on kernel.org and I've worked on getting the mailing list setup.
The mailing list is up and running (see patch [1/2]) of this series.

Greg said he'd be happy to take pull requests from now on, so I hope
once we have figured out the exact workflow things will be much smoother
getting your patches merged into the fpga mgr framework.

Feel free to comment / speak up if you're not cool with this change.

Thanks,

Moritz

Hi Moritz,

drivers/fpga has been in the upstream kernel a year now.  Most of that
time, traffic has been very slow.  Recently we had more traffic while
I was travelling and moving to a new office, both cases leaving me
with bad network connectivity.  Things will probably return to normal.
I appreciate your passion and all your effort reviewing stuff.  I
don't see a need for two maintainers at this point.

Alan

TBH. I think it is not a bad option. I do normally have backup person
for all repos I do maintain. It doesn't mean that second maintainer does
something but it has all accesses to repos you maintain.
It means if something really happens to you (hopefully not) than this
person can continue in this work without any delay which is not a bad
thing.
It is really just about talking to each other what that second person
will do - probably just review patches as is done now. You can also
learn from each other.
I would like to be involved more in this but unfortunately I don't have
enough time to do it properly.

Regarding maintaining this repo. It is just standard process. Apply
sensible things, well described and test it. And then send pull request
to Greg based on signed tags and you are done.
Greg should told you what should be the base which you should use for
pull request. Someone is taking patches based on rc1 tag, someone is
rebasing it on the final tag.

Greg doesn't care what base you use, as long as you don't rebase
patches.  What subsystem does that?  I need to go yell at someone...

And I take patches just as easily, what ever works best for the
subsystem.

:-) Not sure if there is any subsystem which use this.
And for my microblaze tree I do normally base patches on the top of
rc7/8 or final tag but that's done mostly because I collect patches at
that time. But IIRC when I started with this someone mentioned that for
small number of patches this is fine.

Thanks,
Michal

I agree, it is a good idea to have a maintainer team model as early as
possible just because stuff does happen. We've had to recover from MIA
maintainers in RDMA and TPM, and it is not really nice. Generally
a lot of patches just get dropped :(
