[Buildroot] List of trivial old patches

[Buildroot] List of trivial old patches

[Baruch Siach via buildroot]

Hi Buildroot list,

Here is a list of over month old patchwork entries that look like
trivial version bumps, or upstream backports.

There are a lot more. So if you find this list useful, I'll dig up more

libgit2 1.6.4 is out and i'm wondering if i should submit a trivial 1.6.3 -> 
1.6.4 bump (which would depends on this patch) or a 1.6.2 -> 1.6.4 bump (which 
would replace it).

  The latter, i.e. a v1.6.2 -> 1.6.4 bump which replaces the existing patch. 
Please also mark the original patch as superseded in patchwork.

Baruch, All,

I blindly applied the patches, on the assumption you did actually review
them before adding them to the list, which was neither too short nor too
long, so it was pretty much manageable, so yes, that was useful. Thanks!

What would be even more useful (and this is valid for everyone) is to
review complex patches too, because those are the ones that take more
time (version bumps are indeed trivial and seldom get a second thought
from my part).

Anyway, thanks for the effort, and if you send another list, this length
and content is nice. 👍

Thanks!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Thanks for your prompt action.

I only reviewed the patches to make sure they are indeed trivial. That
is, mechanical version bump, or upstream backports.

I am fully aware of the review bandwidth shortage that makes complex
patches linger in patchwork queue. The thing is that the queue length
seems to hide trivial patches that are closer to the distant end of the
queue. So I took action in hope to bring some of these patches back to
front, at least on the mailing list. I am glad it worked.

The immediate trigger for me was the libcurl bump (commit 1e735c48372)
that was also a security update that went through some trouble with
distros[1]. Was Buildroot affected as well? Anyway, the update delay
made libcurl bump miss the last 2022.02.x release, which is unfortunate.
