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
