And experiment: Publishing my mercurial patch queue

Greetings,

With the code freeze, I'm starting to accumulate a few patches in my tree. I've started using mercurial to manage my patch queue after the utter fail of svn-stash to do what I want. Patch queues are a thing that hg has optimized for upstream submission, so publishing it seems a reasonable thing.

If you don't have mercurial, or don't want to, you can look at the raw patch queue at this URL:

http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/embedded-patch-queue/patches/

and brows the patches. All the files in this directory are patches, except series which lists the order.

If you want to replicate what I have with mercurial:

svn co <blah>
cd <blah>
hg init
hg add
hg forget .svn
cd .hg
hg clone http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/embedded-patch-queue/patches
cd ..
hg qpush, etc

Anyway, thought I'd mention it here, since this may be a good way to get more involvement on my patches, some of which take months to fully bake due to the large range of mips and arm platforms we have.

Comments?

Warner
