From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Yann E. MORIN Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:58:49 +0200 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4 v8] linux-backports (new package) and misc related fixes (branch yem/linux-backports) Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Hello All! This series introduces linux-backports, which contains drivers from recent kernels, backported unto older kernels (down to 3.0). The series starts by fixing a shortcoming in the pkg-kconfig infra, then does a bit of eye-candy in the Linux package, and finally introduces linux-backports. The thirs patch, linux-backports itself, uses a pure generic package, and does not make use of the kernel-module infra, while the fourth and latest patch converts it over to the kernel-module infra. I'm not sure using the kernel-module infra is worth it, because it does not gain us much in this case. Yet, it makes for a slightly more beautiful .mk (IMHO!), even if a bit longer (+4 lines). In the end, using it or not is the same to me (with a very slight preference for using it, of course, but I won't mind either way). Thanks go to Petr for doing the initial packaging of linux-backports, and Arnout for suggesting the fix in patch 1. :-) Regards, Yann E. MORIN.
