[Buildroot] preferred procedure to get new packages included

[Sven Neumann]

Hi,

I am new to this list and also quite new to buildroot and I wonder
what's the preferred procedure to get new packages included and packages
updated. I have filed bug reports at bugs.busybox.net [1], but noticed
that the bug-tracker does not send out notification emails by default.
Should I also notify you on this list or will bug reports be dealed with
at some point without further action?

I've seen your patch, but haven't had time for a closer review yet.
We're trying to stabilize the tree and get a release out by February,
so it won't get committed until then.

Personally I prefer to see patches on the list, as that's easier for
reviewing, but the bugtracker is good for not forgetting about an
issue as well.

I'll look into getting bugtracker mails sent to the list as well.

That's of course sad as it would like to see these packages included in
that release if possible. I have now attached an updated patch with some
cleanups and fixes to the bug report. Perhaps it is useful for anyone.

Sorry, that's ofcourse understandable, but my no1 priority is really
to get a release out by February. I'll review your patch and commit as
soon as I can, but I'm not giving any promises.

Even if it doesn't make it for this release, it'll be in the next
instead (scheduled for this Summer).

The other developers are more than welcome to help with the reviewing
process.

I looked at the patch, and there are still some issues.
"libsoup" has version 2.4.1 but is downloaded
from a version "2.2" subdirectory.

Anything uPnP related should IMO be in the Networking 
part of Config.

I can fix issues like that.

At the moment, glib does not build for me, since 
I built libiconv which will stop glib from building
but I will start from scratch and test again
and try to get glib to build.

You are right, that should be changed to
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libsoup/2.4/

OK, I wasn't certain where I should put it. I will attach a patch later
that addresses this.
