Hi,

Hello exports.
When re-posting updated a patch (or patch series), should be Acked-by and Reviewed-by tag inherited?
Let me give an example.
I posted "First step towards Kbuild: Use Kbuild style makefiles" v3.
Simon reviewed it and issued Acked-by tag.
The series:
Acked-by: Simon Glass sjg@chromium.org
But, unfortunately the series cannot be applied on the current u-boot/master any more. I will need to rebase the series on the u-boot/master and re-post them as v4.
In this case, should I include Acked-by: Simon Glass sjg@chromium.org in the log of v4 series?
Yes, If you need to rebase the patch, and re-send, you can add Acked-by: to your patches.
I think Acked-by tag for v3 cannot garantee the validity of v4. So, strictly speaking, I think I should drop Acked-by tag if any change exists between v3 and v4.
Or should I use a common sense?
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
