I was reacting to the "broken | userspace" in the patch description which at first glance seemed to be | saying that userspace (i.e. pppd :) is doing something which has | recently been declared to be wrong and therefore it is "broken". | | I think "fix broken userspace" as a patch headline is quite | ambiguous. Something like "Fix bug in conversion to use IDR" would be | more informative. | | Paul. | David, if you pick this patch could you rename the subject then as Paul proposed? Or I should resend the patch with new title? To Paul: my bad, sorry. I thought like -- I broke user-space pppd so it's broken now and lets fix it -- here is "fix broken userspace" grown from :) - Cyrill - -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
