Hi Alan,
How can i know then this is merged into a GIT version?
The only option is to keep checking the GIT changes/changelog?

Comment 4 Alan 2009-07-08 15:14:38 UTC

Thats the only way I know.

I sent it to Linus yesterday so hopefully it'll go in today/tomorrow.

Ok Alan,
Tell me, just one last thing, for which search string can i search this?
"ppp" ? "tty" ?
Please tell me one that may be the easier to search :)

pty.c

Comment 7 Jorge Bastos 2009-07-09 10:19:48 UTC

Testing... the fix is on -rc2-git3.
I'll report sucess (or not) in a few days.

Hi Alan,
You can close this!
It's working like a charm...
Thanks for the good work :-)
