Will do.

If they are simple, clear fixes, then maybe a day or two just for build coverage, but it is very much up to the maintainer. There are always a few poatches that get through late (quote a few of which I suspect have been "in train", just not yet published in the maintainer's tree).
And, of course, real fixes go in just about anytime ...
I don't think we believe in hard rules for anything :-) -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
