[PATCH] kbuild: Steppeing down as Maintainer

It has been fun but the last year or more it has
been a duty and a burden. So I leave it open for
other to take over.

Sam, thanks for all of your efforts. The work you've done on Kbuild
has definitely been a real contribution to Linux.

Best regards, and hopefully you'll find some other projects that fit
within your family commitments as well as being more fun than burden!

Sigh. Perhaps if I don't apply the patch, this won't happen?

And thanks for all the fish. I'll continue to scoop up patches as I
see them and shall cc yourself and linux-kbuild and Anibal, Steve and
Michal on them and I shall wait and see what happens.

The current queue is:

kbuild-generate-modulesbuiltin.patch
kbuild-rebuild-fix-for-makefilemodbuiltin.patch
kbuild-generate-modulesbuiltin-fix-2.patch
kbuild-generate-modulesbuiltin-fix-2-checkpatch-fixes.patch
kconfig-cross_compile-option.patch
kbuild-clean-up-marker.patch
kbuild-clear-marker-out-of-modpost.patch
kbuild-genksyms-properly-consider-export_unused_symbol_gpl.patch

If at all possible, please do keep an eye on things as they fly past -
I think we'll find that a few words of insight from you on particular
issues can potentially save others a large amount of work, and can
steer us away from costly mistakes.

Thanks.

Hi Sam,

I, also, want to thank you very much for all your work.

I am, however, wondering what will happen to the changes you have that are
currently in linux-next:

Apparently for v2.6.32 (in kbuild-current):

Michael Tokarev (1):
kbuild: fix bzImage build for x86

And queued for v2.6.33:

Sam Ravnborg (14):
kbuild: search arch/$ARCH/include before include/
dontdiff: add generated
kbuild: move bounds.h to include/generated
kbuild: move asm-offsets.h to include/generated
ia64: move nr-irqs.h to include/generated
arm: move mach-types to include/generated
sh: move machtypes.h to include/generated
kbuild: drop include2/ used for O=... builds
kbuild: do not check for include/asm-$ARCH
kbuild: drop include/asm
kbuild: move compile.h to include/generated
drop explicit include of autoconf.h
kbuild: move autoconf.h to include/generated
kbuild: move utsrelease.h to include/generated

I am (for the moment) still merging these from the copy I have of your
trees, but what to do in the longer term?

I will submit the patches like any other regular submitter to linux-kbuild
if the upcoming Maintainers does not pick them up from the git trees.

So for now keeping the pull would be nice but as soon as you have
a ew set of kbuild tress then drop these.

Frankly I had forgot that I had a patch in -fixes...

I took your kbuild-next.git and I'm going through the other patches
posted to linux-kbuild recently. I'll push the repo once passes some
testing.
