[Buildroot] Build 2015.11-rc2

[Kinsella, Ray]

Hi folks,

I pulled 2015.11-rc2, and while based Quark support is in there.

commit 968f5d5e59195e6e6a9a349ec9a118fb3a50b8b3
arch/x86: add support for Intel X1000

We are missing the support for Galileo Gen 1/2

commit 8715e18e9327cbde4e6b30cfab3982138b727e56
board: add support for Intel Galileo Gen 2

commit a763d10fd41e85841e074c6584e2b5cb4d54048b
board: readme.txt for Intel Galileo Gen 1/2

These commits missed the cut off for 2015.11.
Is there a way to backport from next?

You can do the backport locally, but support for Galileo will not be in
2015.11, but in 2016.02. Indeed, we did not merge the Galileo patches
before 2015.11-rc1, and since it's a new feature and not a bug fix, we
won't merge it for 2015.11.

Is this a big problem?

Hi Thomas,

No - not a big problem, just looking to understand the rules.
My guess was that the Galileo merge missed the cut off date and so wasn't included.
