Not really. I basically release them as quickly as I can, given that it takes pretty much a full day to get a release compiling and pretending to boot on various machines and configs. I tend not to bother doing -mm releases during the two-week merge window because a) I'm busy sending stuff and b) the upstream tree is changing too fast and c) I'm busy watching people merrily merge things into mainline which I've never seen before. > Is there a > -git repo that I can get work in progress for -mm? Nope. Because it's almost never in a compileable state. I don't see a lot of point in publishing a known-broken tree - all people can do is to send me little fixes for stuff which I'll quickly fix myself anyway. I should upload snapshots more regularly to ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/ but there always seems to be a reason not to. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
