It's a bit disappointing to see my fix is still not in platform-drivers-x86/linux-next [1] (even it's only fixing "warnings", 9 days past). linux-next tree is for me a very high dynamic SCM tree, I am doing mostly daily builds, at weekend I am testing/pulling other trees before they go into Monday's linux-next. As far as I have fun with "my process"... I will continue.
Yesterday, I provided a patch which broke iwlwifi in linux-next (next-20101216) and it was applied quickly into wireless-next-2.6 GIT master and it is in next day's linux-next. OK, this was a breakage not fixing warnings (which can be of course ignored).
Yesterday, I had a talk with resposibles of GRML project, because they refused to apply a 6-months-old patch from IIRC Eric Biederman(n). Debian has it already in their linux-2.6 SCM as: bugfix/x86/Skip-looking-for-ioapic-overrides-when-ioapics-are-not-present.patch
To be honest, I can't understand why this patch is still not upstream (even it is a "cosmetic" fix).
So what shall I do: Cry louder, ignore, resend???
Next very unamused thingie is, sometimes you do not get a feedback, if a patch is in WTF tree applied or not, so I am replying myself to the threads so that people are informed that stuff is closed, please go on to next of your problems.
As a conclusion for myself, it highly depends on the submaintainer...
