[U-Boot-Users] Merge Window Closed.

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hi everybody.

our first merge window has just ended. I think I have  processed  all
pull requests and added all (recent) open patches. Please have a look
and  check  if  anything that should go into the next release and has
been submitted before the deadline is still missing.

Please find attached below the build errors  resulting  when  running
the "MAKEALL" script for the "arm", "mips" and "ppc" architectures. I
used the ELDk 4.1 tool chain to do this, just in case it matters.

* Please help testing by running MAKEALL for the other architectures
  for which I don't have tools and boards to test...

* Board maintainers: please help clean up build errors on warnings on
  your boards.


Please help testing and fixing so we can have a high quality code
release at the end of this cycle.

BTW: what should the next release be named - 1.2.1 or 1.3.0 ?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

A lot of updates and fixes, new merge strategy, I vote for 1.3.0.

What's about a u-boot-1.3.0-rc1 tag in git and a 
u-boot-1.3.0-rc1.tar.bz2 on ftp server?

Will do that. But I want to integrate the  first  round  of  feedback
first.  There  are way too many show-stopper bugs in the current code
to call it a release candidate. If I just had a little more time...

What about adopting Ubuntu's philosophy and numbering by year and month Y.M?
   <http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/faq>

This has the disadvantage of not clearly marking major changes 
(discontinuities) e.g.   1.x -> 2.0 or 1.2.y -> 1.3.0.  Assuming there 
are no earth-shattering discontinuities in the future, that isn't a 
problem.  I'm not sure we are "there" yet, but u-boot has been around 
and refined for quite some time now and the changes have become a lot 
more incremental (or maybe I've just become more comfortable with it?).

On the "advantages" side...

1) It acknowledges that u-boot (as with most open source projects) is 
subject to continuous rolling improvement.

2) It eliminates the debate of whether the major or just the minor 
number needs to be rolled.

3) When someone says "my build based on version 7.8 is broken" we can 
scale our scorn based on how old the release is without having to look 
it up.  ;-)

4) This is also in line with Linus's current philosophy that the kernel 
will be 2.6.xxxxxx forever.  (I suspect this won't hold literally true 
forever, I predict the "2.6" prefix will eventually be dropped.)

Going to date-based numbering makes a lot of sense to me.

gvb

Great idea, but who's going to come up with the silly animal names?

Hi Wolfgang,

Microblaze source code in main tree have problems due to redesigning 
commands
handling. I fixed this in microblaze branch.

I sent some patches to discuss but I have no response on it.
ROMFS, EmacLite and Emac.

Shall I send patches again?
Or you can pull them from microblaze branch.

Best regards,
Michal Simek

Hi Michal,

Please repost your patch series.  As I recall, there were
several issues with your patch series that needed to be
cleaned up before they could be pulled.

Thanks,
jdl

To be honest: I don't like it. No rational reason, just gut feeling.

There will be such things, I guess... 2.0 is already in a repo...

Oops? I don't see any difference for  this  between  onve  versioning
scheme and any other, as long as the versions change frequently ;-)

ACK. But actually this is more a disadvantage - see above.

I never look this up. Anything that is not TOT is "too old" :-)

Ummm... but Linux does NOT use da date based version number.

> Going to date-based numbering makes a lot of sense to me.

I feel this is mostly a matter of taste.

I have been using date based labels all  the  time  when  U-Boot  was
still  in CVS (see all the LABEL_200y_mm_dd_HHMM tags we have). And I
must say that I really got sick of this. It served a specific need in
CVS, but I never needed this again in git. If it was not for a public
release process I  wouln't  need  any  version  number  at  all.  But
whatever  we  may use, please not date based stamps. I think they are
*stupid*. JUst my 0.02 EUR.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Just for the record: this is the only message  I  received  from  you
that  talks  at  all  about pulling "from microblaze branch" (without
saying exactly what this is and what it contains). You sent  this  on
Wed, 29 Aug 2007 20:21:59, after the merge window was closed.


I did not - and do not - interpret this message as a pull request. I
read this as a request to review patches.


If you want to send a pull request, you have to make this clear to
me, like by following the docs in
http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/CustodianGitTrees
