I guess you already did this -- I don't recall sorry. Personally even though I have commit access I think it is still good to discuss anything remotely controversial before committing it. Most changes (new packages, package updates) don't fall in that category of course. > It's a hard balance to strike, I don't think it's right to demand > anything of people on a volunteer led project but some of us have a > job to do and a limited amount of time to do it in. Does your job require your changes to be committed to the master repository? Personally I am using buildroot in a commercial product for my day job. I am contributing everything that is relevant back to the buildroot repository, but we have some changes specific to our application and some proprietary packages which will never be merged. We don't expect to be able to build our whole product directly from the buildroot.uclibc.org repository. I'm committing my own changes back to the master repository where relevant, and I commit patches from this mailing list in areas that are relevant to me and where I think I can properly review them. Unfortunately I don't have company time to work on parts of buildroot that fall outside these categories. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB
