Subject: Which tree to track: linux-next or staging?
Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2024 15:49:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+MPq=Xp9eqJ-88MdPdhwQUSK0fk11HNKDCUqj6yRMFau0krgQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi
I have had the opportunity to submit a few patches, which has been
really fun. However, a while back i submitted patches for fixes that i
realised after had already been patched in GregKH tree ... and i
realised i had been developing against Linus's master branch, and not
linux-next.
But my question is, is it better to develop against linux-next or in
newbies cases, one of GregKH's (staging) branches? Maybe
staging/master or staging/staging-next?
If you develop against linux-next, dont you run a pretty big chance of
someone submitting to one of Greg's staging drivers prior to the merge
into linux-next, since patches go to drivers/staging seemingly a lot
more frequently than the merges into linux-next?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Jon
