Although I still don't have the time to fix them :-p Indeed, and those are infrequent enough that they're noticable. > Mark Brown wrote: > > One thing I'd really like to see there would be to avoid sending each > > patch separately for every stable version, that just blows up the mail > > volume hugely especially for those of us with subsystems that carry a > > lot of quirks.

It's not just the autoselects, you get one batch of mails for AUTOSEL if the patches were picked up that way, then another batch of mails when the patches are added to a queue then yet another when the stable -rc goes out for testing. Possibly more that I'm forgetting, and each of those is per version. Now you mention it there's some redundancy there too... --r6N9O0XwNWW3Ofe1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAmiSNEMACgkQJNaLcl1U h9BK4wf/XLuB2CM4kb4TAJvWykfPIQmOcPN+uAUkpKLZXwqQZ5Elm+QDxOUHJV4S 4UJP8rU1z74zpY8CNB7/8ZnsRPwbbt4Be08c3CJjRz3/8DiycE8Sfl8dsXYVBzj1 +BFE6B5oV2EHKT63xvWVQiJU7RHBsdrNll2bHWinEaYt7lcL0kcIbi35pyzl4kOa iAVF7uK3CsFu3TUK1ECPiCI6s1gPMIj55WNnxalQixc+yzrBkWn41EfxhEvSzfeE Yhh8jaZn9Xt0yZLIpaToh4781Kw75bb364hCRamtsLoyRL4Igij3aww3HTXXdiR9 toEnxSg9ufkc9SAkW3k4jFDdMASWLw== =Qdd2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --r6N9O0XwNWW3Ofe1--
