Of course, we can create infrastructure for Python modules or other types of build systems, but I'm not sure this is what you're referring to. > Also we should make a decision on the host-tools menu that was > posted on the list before. Peter has said he was OK with this during the Prague meeting, so I think the decision has been taken. It only needs to be applied :-) Peter: could you try to handle the patches in a more FIFO fashion, rather than the LIFO fashion you're using these days? There are many patches that have been waiting for a very long time, while the most recent patches are being taken into account very quickly. Some examples: the host tools menu Arnout is referring to, or Maxime Ripard's patches on the per-package device/permission stuff.
