Maybe, is it better to send patch set via github as PR from now on? I'm now writing
zram patch set for x86-64 support.
Hi Daisuke,
Good question -- and one that I shall defer the answer to the new maintainers.
Personally, I never accepted git pull requests because I always felt that
it was more valuable to expose proposed patches to the larger audience
that make up this mailing list. So when PRs came in, I coerced the
submitter to use the list.

Do you plan to set a redirection from the current page? Rpm packages for
crash's extension modules have URL in each rpm information like below and need to
modify it accordingly:
# yum info crash-gcore-command
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
Available Packages
Name : crash-gcore-command
Arch : x86_64
Version : 1.3.1
Release : 0.el7
Size : 41 k
Repo : rhel-7-server-rpms/7Server/x86_64
Summary : Gcore extension module for the crash utility
URL :
http://people.redhat.com/anderson/extensions/crash-gcore-command-1.3.1.ta...
License : GPLv2
Description : Command for creating a core dump file of a user-space task that
: was running in a kernel dumpfile.
Yes, when the packages are updated, the URLs will have to be changed. During the build
procedure, the package verification will fail if the upstream URL is defunct.
Also, when I want to release a new version of crash extnesion module, I send it to
Hagio-san via
this mailing list as in the past, and then Hagio-san modifies the "crash extension
modules" page.
Is this understanding correct?
Yes, and then Kazu, Liang or Bhupesh will be able to update that page.

Thanks for your work on crash utility. This is essential for our daily support jobs.
Personally, I met crash utility relatively early when I entered this field and have
learnt a lot thorough using, reading and writing crash utility and lots of reviews
by you this 10 years.
I can't thank you enough Daisuke. Over the years you have been one of my most
dependable and valued contributors. Your finger prints are all over the crash
utility!
Best Regards,
Dave
Thanks.
HATAYAMA, Daisuke
