David,
As you know, Debian and Ubuntu (and others?) opted to use 2.6.32 as the basis for a stable release but to take DRM from 2.6.33. Now that the stable 2.6.33 series is over, we need some other means to communicate the most important bug fixes for DRM that should go into these distributions. Do you have any suggestions for how we should to this? Could you maintain a drm-2.6.33 branch?
Ben.
Hi Ben,
actually I am already maintaining a branch which combines the 2.6.32.y tree with a 2.6.33 base of drm which I now moved forward to have .34 patches of drm included. I intended to go ahead like Greg does for .27 and get as much of the later stable patches back into that tree. If I miss something, please let me know.
