Jose,
I recommend a full two way merge (DRI->kernel and kernel->DRI). The
kernel->DRI changes can be submitted directly to our repository for
testing. The DRI->kernel changes require a patch be submitted to the
kernel team. If we need two patches (for 2.4 and 2.5) that's okay--but
we should try to end up with a common driver source for both kernel
versions in our repository, if at all possible. Posting these patches
on the DRI site is for the purpose of getting some alpha testing
exposure and code review before submitting to the kernel team.
Once we have merged sources in both repositories, then David and Alan
can pick up the latest from our repository.
Getting these fixes out minimizes our need to create patches relative to
all the verious places the kernel DRM drivers can be found.
Does this plan cover our needs, or am I overlooking something?
