But in future, such patches should definitely be based against ACPICA
code. Len will probably announce here where to find the very latest
sources, soon. Currently the latest official release linked to on
http://lesswatts.org is still from 2006. AFAIK things will get better
here, soon.

The latest ACPICA source can be found at the acpica.org website. In
fact, we have converted our source repository from CVS to git, and the
actual working git repository is now publicly available at

http://www.acpica.org/repos/acpica.git/

The acpica.org website was created at the end of 2007, and is now the
home of the acpica project.

OK, I'm now peeved.

please, don't be.

I've sent this patch ten damned times now and only once was there any
comment and it was this vague indecisive wafflefest from which I now
discover I was removed from Cc.

it appears that the cc: list was trimmed when a discussion
about the ACPCIA git tree URL was sent.

Unfortunately on May 6th when bob e-mailed that he'd pulled the patch 
into ACPICA, he replied to that branch of the thread and not the 
original.

If I pulled from Bob instantaneously, you'd have got a reject
when creating -mm on that day.  As it turns out, we had more
urgent fish to fry that day, so it came out the end of
the ACPICA->Linux pipe later.

Well someone has now merged something else which wrecked this patch
whcih I've been maintaining (for you guys!) for over two months. 

I'll drop it.  Please try harder.

Please do drop it, because it is already in linux-acpi.
It probably didn't reject cleanly because Lindent is too.

In the future, please simply do not accept
patches to drivers/acpi/*/* (the ACPICA files) into -mm.

Instead, bounce them to the Linux/ACPI maintainer,
who will bounce them to the ACPICA maintainer --
which is the head of the stream for these sub-directories.

Yes, I could have and should have asked you to drop these
ACPICA cleanups back when I bounced them to Bob.
I certainly don't want to create more work for you.

thanks,
-Len
