[Xen-devel] Re: git repository for SR-IOV development?



Hello Lance,

Thanks for your interest in SR-IOV. As Greg said we can't have a git tree for the change, but you are welcome to ask any question here and I also will keep you informed if there is any update on the SR-IOV patches.

Thanks,
Yu

Why?  It's only a few patches, right?  Why would it
need a whole new git
tree?

So as to minimize the time and effort patching a kernel, especially if
the tree (and/or hash level) against which the patches were created
fails to be specified on a mailing-list.  Plus, there appears to be
questions raised on how, precisely, the implementation should
ultimately be modeled and especially given that, who knows at this
point what number of patches will ultimately be submitted?  I know
I've built the "7-patch" one (painfully, by the way), and I'm aware
there's another 15-patch set out there which I've not yet examined.

It's a mere 7 or 15 patches, you don't need a whole git tree for
something small like that.

Especially as there only seems to be one developer doing real work...

thanks,

greg k-h
