[Buildroot] Ignored patches - WHY?

[Sushi Sensei]

I have send some patches ( 0001534, 0001533, 0001532) this week with
the Patch Tracking page, the week before I have send the same patches
without notices of this inclusion or error, some patch was send 2 or 3
week before and was ignored... There are some problem with this
patches??

Not neccessarily, noone is "responsible" for applying patches,
so if noone's got the time or  the interest, they wont be applied.
If you happen to send then when someone is in a mood, they will  be.

The problem is that there is only 2 people who can commit (have write premissions):
Bernhard Fischer and Ulf Samuelsson.

I asked Erik Andersen (who is maintainer of buildroot.uclibc.org)
about buildroot svn write access but still no reply from him.

Usually if you post some patch to buildroot mailing list or to bugtracking
- it's just ignored.

No, there are several others, but I guess at present, Bernhard and I are the
most frequent submitters. I have much, much less time now than I had
during the summer.

He is very busy, so dont expect answers soon.

OK, then we have 3 posibilities:

1) Wait that some of the mantainers send some patch if they are inspired
2) Send the patch and pray
3) Only pray

:-)

Best to think of it like a casino.  You roll the dice and
take your chances, just like everyone else.  You wouldn't
expect to win every single time, would you?  ;-)

Finally Erik gave me svn write access. Thank Erik!
And I'm able to commit a few patches :-)

Hi Sushi,

I'm sorry I can not apply this patch : br2-olsr.patch:

        ;;

        echo "Stopping OLSRd daemon: "

Because an daemon should reside in /usr/sbin directory ,
please check other buildroot packages such as dropbear, mdnsresponder, and so on - they are all in sbin dir.
You should change OLSR_TARGET_BINARY:=usr/bin/olsrd instead.

Please adjust and resubmit.
Thanks!

Ivan

Unfortunately I could not manage to build OLSR correctly:

OLSR will do an install in $(DESTDIR)/usr/lib
You need to add DESTDIR=$(STAGING_DIR) to the make.

I.E:

$(OLSR_DIR)/$(OLSR_BINARY): $(OLSR_DIR)/.unpacked
	$(MAKE) $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) DESTDIR=$(STAGING_DIR) -C$(OLSR_DIR)
olsrd $(OLSR_PLUGINS)

Sushi, regading this lockfile-progs patch:

What does it mean "sid" ???

this line is pretty good and I do not see a reason to change it. Do you?
