Hi,
I would like to send pull-requests for the net/ieee802154 net/mac802154
implementation.
I know that bluetooth sends pull requests to linux-wireless to avoid
merge conflicts. My question is: Which branch is the best to send pull
requests for my case. Also I like to get the permission to do that.
I can send pull requests to linux-wireless or linux-net or
linux-bluetooth.
For the linux-bluetooth option:
There exists a new branch net/6lowpan which contains shared code between
bluetooth 6LoWPAN and IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN implementation. Currently
Marcel apply patches for this branch and maybe it's better that I send
pull requests to the bluetooth branch, to avoid merge conflicts with the
net/6lowpan/* implementation.
Then I would base my pull request on the bluetooth-* branches.
Or should I send the pull requests to linux-wireless? I don't know the
right option, but I think I should send pull requests to linux-wireless
and take care about "possible" merge conflicts with bluetooth.
Thanks.

Hi,
ping?
I talked with Marcel today and he would accept pull request for
net/ieee802154 and net/mac802154 work. I will catch all patches from the
newly generated linux-wpan (IEEE 802.15.4/IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN) list.
I would base my repository on bluetooth/bluetooth-next branches then.
This option is better, because there exist shared 6LoWPAN code which is
used by bluetooth and 802154.
David and John, is this okay for you? The alternative would be that I
send pull request to wireless, but then we have the net/6lowpan
conflicts issue. Bluetooth and 802154 should have the net/6lowpan
directory mostly up-to-date.
If this is fine, can I take all patches for net/mac802154 and net/ieee802154?
So no patches for this going into net-next/net to avoid conflicts.
For the net/6lowpan branch all patches should go into
bluetooth/bluetooth-next. Please let me know if this is fine.
Thanks.
