As the number of compilation options and platform grows, it gets more difficult for a commiter to always ensure one chunk of code won't give a problem in a different situation. To try to lower the cost of maintaining the protability I would suggest the following rule for commit: - if a recently commited patch breaks compilation on a platform or for a given driver then it's fine to commit a minimal fix directly without getting the review feedback first - similary if make check or make syntax-chek breaks, if there is an obvious fix, it's fine to commit immediately Note that this would remove the need to send the patch to the list
would *not* .... sigh !
anyway (or tell what the fix was if trivial). This doesn't either remove the rule that 'make check syntax-check' should pass before
