Check the archives.. A patch was sent about 4 months ago that ports it
to V2..

I don't deny that some sort of patch management is not useful and
necessary even.  I just don't like _having_ to do all things Trac as its
not near as easy as mail.  It also means you have to be on-line.

I found that patch in my mail folders in about 2 seconds without having
to fire up a browser to look for it.

I knew the patch was there and its on my TODO.  So its not like it got
lost or anything.

I just don't have a working machine to test it on.  Its on the list
right after make 440bx work. :)

Fully agreed all three times.

But longer-time things like this _should_ be tracked (in Trac).
Same goes for patches that we can't decide what to do with (or
that we can't handle right now).  Stuff that's actively being
discussed is handled way more efficient (and easier) on the
mailing lists though.

Everyone is free to move any issue or patch to Trac of course.
It's just pointless and non-trivial work (it all adds up, you
see) to put *everything* we deal with in Trac.

Cheers,

It's 'Trac' btw.

There is also patchwork [1].  And example of it in action can be seen
here [2].

Don't get me wrong, I like Trac.

so, is the LinuxBIOSv2 tree version of adlo the latest and greatest, no
patches needed to get it into the state that people are using it in? I'm
just trying to get a baseline.

thanks
