From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Ulf Samuelsson Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2007 14:35:32 +0200 Subject: [Buildroot] What is the proper procedure to commit a patch? Message-ID: <006201c7bfd9$de0f46a0$dcc4af0a@atmel.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Now, when I have access, I would like to understand the proper procedure to add patches. After checking out and applying a patch, I can do: svn commit -F with containing a log message. or svn commit -m "log message" I tried a real simple patch first and after the commit, the svn server automatically sent out a mail with the change, adding the log message. The patches I'd like to add are mainly: * BSP patch ,discussed and approved by Eric. * moving package/customize to topdir and rename "local", also discussed before * Support for AT91 boot monitors Dataflashboot AT91-Bootstrap U-boot Generate U-Boot initialization scripts * Add AVR32 support. * A few extra packages. * Update mtdutils (which is really old) * Clean up the linux support (move into a separate dir in package) * Bump versions on a number of packages which has disappeared from their download location. (dash, rmp, l2tp, mpfr,mrouted, openntpd, portage, pppd,udev) * Add TARGET_CFLAGS to all packages not having this Would like to know if they lack TARGET_CFLAGS for a reason. (acpid,berkleydb, hdparm, iostat,ltp-testsuite,memtester,netkitbase, procps, python, sysklogd, tinyx,udhcp) * Introduce concept of distributions (did not do any work there yet though) -------------- Both the version bump and TARGET_CFLAGS lists are a month old, so maybe the svn already is updated. Is it OK to bump version if something disappears from internet, or do we need a review. Sometimes you find new versions of a package, Is it OK to bump the version without previous review by peers? Anything else to think about (except golden rule: do not break the build)?
