Thanks Andrew
I was thinking this code would eventually go into Linux-next threw
James tree. But thought if there was a way for some exposure, so to
give James some confidence in the code before he commits to it. But
this way it could be perfect, thanks.
Stephen Hi
I have just that branch ready it is:
git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd.git osd
Note the "osd" branch. Do I need to call it something special like
"linux-next"? (Give me 24 hours to fix all current comments)
Also one more question. This tree is based on latest scsi-misc-2.6.git,
Because it is destined to go threw James tree at the end. Do I need
to prepare a special tree based on Linus-latest?
Thanks in advance
Boaz
