Definitively, thank you very much. Meanwhile I also found
scripts/admin-update.sh in compat-wireless which seems to
generate the release tarballs.

It looks like, if I want to test the latest rt2x00 code, I could
clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git,
checkout experimental, and then run admin-update.sh with
GIT_TREE=path/to/rt2x00-experimental. Right?
Or (maybe better?), clone linux-next, merge rt2x00.git and use
the merged tree as GIT_TREE for admin-update.sh.

But according to
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2010-October/002175.html
the compat-rt2x00 tarballs seem to be made manually?

Sorry for stupid questions, I want to get into rt2x00 development
but I need to target a stable 2.6.32 kernel and I'm trying to figure
out which git tree to base my work on.


Thanks,
Johannes
