Hi.
linux-3.14.0-rc3/MAINTAINERS contains two references to the apparently nonexistent git tree git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git . Here is the entry for DRM:
DRM DRIVERS M: David Airlie airlied@linux.ie L: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git S: Maintained F: drivers/gpu/drm/ F: include/drm/ F: include/uapi/drm/
These references to .../drm-2.6.git should be deleted or changed, right?
I sent an email to arlied@linux.ie about a week ago, but it included an incorrect suggested replacement link for the git tree, so I quickly sent another email asking him to disregard that message. I did not get a response, and I'm not sure whether to recommend that he delete the references to .../drm-2.6.git or to recommend some other link as a replacement.
By the way, I noticed this because I believe I am experiencing at least one "mode setting" bug in linux/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon, and I would like to try the latest version of the driver to reduce the chance of expending people's time on something that may have already been fixed. My attempts at searching the web have so far ony turned up http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/ , which appears to have a number of active branches, but I'm not sure which branch, if any, I should test against, and the list of commits at the bottom of the page suggests that the most recent commit to the main branch of that repository was over a year ago. So, i'm really not sure what git tree I should try.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

I just sent some patches to the list to fix this: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-February/054133.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-February/054132.html
drm-fixes is the current active branch for 3.14. drm-next if the current active branch for new features for 3.15.

Hi, Dave.
The git tree git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git apparently does not existing anyomre at that location, and I have not seen a response to my messsage of February 17th about this providing a new location, so I am submitting this patch to you to remove the inaccurate lines from linux/MAINTAINERS. If there is some other git URL that should be used rather than just deleting those lines, I would be happy to change the patch or be happy to see you make the change rather than deleting these lines. However, I hope you will agree that the references to the nonexistent git tree needs to be changed.
If I should be following some other process to get this pushed upstream, I would appreciate a pointer on it.
Thanks for your contributions, and thanks in advance for your attention to this.
