linux-next: quilt series

Hi all,

To make my life easier, can I ask that the series file for any quilt trees in the linux-next tree have a comment at the top to identify their base (either a SHA1 or some other ref in Linus' tree).  Like this:

# BASE <SHA1 or ref>

Also, if you only want a subset of the series file included, you can mark the patches with

# NEXT_PATCHES_START
	.
	.
# NEXT_PATCHES_END

Thanks.

Done. Right now it says:

# BASE 2.6.25-rc1-git3

Is it OK with you?

The daily snapshots are not tagged in Linus' tree, right? So I don't think 
this would suffice.

Its ok, I know how to convert them to SHA1s.

Do you allow multiple START/END blocks?

My trees are now marked with this.

Oh, that's nice.

Can we write these things down somewhere on the web so that I, and
others, remember them in a few months?  :)

thanks,

I can and certainly intended to. (I am still writing scripts so anything
is possible - after all it is only software :-))

Thanks, but not my idea - kudos to Alasdair Kergon.

Certainly, I will write something up.

Although this probably isn't what you were asking for, i anyway started
to put some of the basic things about linux-next together and filled a
naive little webpage with it:

http://linux.f-seidel.de/linux-next/

while the wiki there is probably most interesting as it e.g. already
contains some info about those quilt comments and is amazingly easy to
adapt and enhance.

Thanks,
Frank

It's a good start, thanks for posting it.
