Re: Getting things in... Was: Re: shifts on 64bit ints

 I must confess this is one of those areas where I wish we were on CVS
instead of BK.

 If you want feel free to send your patches my way and I'll be sure
that they get in. I can at least test things on my prep, chrp rs6000s
and even my power mac.

        linuxppc-dev is not necessarily a patch submission mailinglist.
Until PowerPC Linux development has such a thing, I think that it is
better to coordinate with and directly send patches to someone with
write-access who can apply the patches instead of throwing them up in the
air and hoping that someone catches them.

 This can be a good thing or a bad thing tho. I'd rather like to see
patches posted to the list. Granted there's some line there where they
simply get too big and a link is better. At least with posting to the
list everyone has the chance to comment and better yet test them out!

I'm an horribly bad web designer, but one cool thing to do if someone is
good at it, would be a web-pased patch repository. You send patches with
a web form (eventually an upload mecanism) along with your  email, a
comment, etc..., they get assigned a patch number automatically, anybody
can consult the database, and people with write access to BK can mark
them (accepted, refused, postponed, ... along with a comment) once they
have been handled.

Any volunteer to design such a site ?

Ben.
