I had a discussion this week with Thomas De Schampheleire, and we would like to progressively clean up the backlog of patches we have in patchwork, especially the oldest one. So, every week, I'll be posting the list of the 10 oldest patches, with the original patch contributors in Cc. During one week, we have the opportunity to discuss the patch, whether it is still necessary or not, how it should be changed to be merged. In particular, I'm interested in knowing if the original contributor is still interested by the patch, or if someone else is interested in adopting the patch and sending an updated version, or if the patch no longer makes sense due to other changes made in Buildroot. All patches that have not received any comment or attention within the week will be removed from patchwork. This is aggressive, but we have patches sitting in patchwork since one year and half, and this cannot work. So, for this first week, the patches are: 1 New: add lava-test package http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/155498/ ludovic.desroches at atmel.com 2 [v3] busybox: install S41inetd and inetd.conf if inetd is enabled in busybox. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/164551/ keguang.zhang at gmail.com 3 [1/1] ccache: expose control interface via 'make ccache-options' http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/165382/ roylee17 at gmail.com 4 [V2] p910nd: Add p910nd lightweight printserver http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/165542/ david.c.purdy at gmail.com 5 Added package v86d which provides a real-mode helper for uvesafb driver. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/171840/ golubovsky at gmail.com 6 grub: fix stage2 link with recent binutils http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/173191/ net147 at gmail.com 7 valgrind: valgrind/valgrind.h missing if --disable-tls enabled http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/176795/ stefan.froberg at petroprogram.com 8 [2/2] rdiff-backup: new package http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/176956/ avishorp at gmail.com 9 [1/2,v4] package: pkg-generic: Support building override source without copying in common package infrastructure. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/177618/ sonic.adi at gmail.com 10 grub: add host support http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/177705/ rbraun at sceen.net Thanks, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
