Hi Ingo,

I merely expect people not to push known broken code into linux-next. linux-next breaks on all sorts of architectures all the time (check http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/branch/9/). One of the reasons linux-next exists is so that all kernel developers don't have to build test on all architectures all the time. (And, yes, I know that linux-next doesn't build all architectures or all configs.)
That being said, I will complain about breakages on some architectures more than others since they are in my personal builds (as opposed to the over night builds).
That being said (:-)), I am sure that the PARISC guys would appreciate the original problem being fixed. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
