No, I didn't want to say that you are too slow. It is just hard to know how fast somebody can process something and if he has enough free time. If you would say that the weather is to good to do computer related work until 2.6.35 then it would be fine too. :)
The weather is pretty nice here, finally, maybe I should take a few weeks off :)
Don't worry about pinging me if I haven't responded to a patch, it doesn't bother me at all. In rare cases, I do miss them, so it can't hurt if you haven't gotten a response from me in a week.
Ok. Thanks a lot that you applied the patches so fast - even when the weather is so nice. :)
I have a small question about the topic "how to reduce the workload for you". We send the patch which should integrate batman-adv into net/ around two weeks ago to David S. Miller and the netdev@vger mailing list [1]. Some hours later Hagen Paul Pfeifer responded with some questions and different ideas - which we (batman developers and Henning Rogge from olsr) either answered and/or started to discuss them.
The problem is that the discussion stopped quite fast... actually there was only one mail from the netdev guys. This is quite irritating to me and the question arose whether we did something terrible wrong when we send the patch.
Maybe you could give us a small hint how to proceed further. If we should wait, poke around or maybe submit it in a completely different way. It is not about "getting it into net right away", but we would really like to get some responses so we can work on it to make it better.
batman-adv works quite well for us - but that doesn't mean that it is good in context of the current kernel development. And who should know it better than the netdev guys.
thanks for the mentoring, Sven
