is omap development at git tree on kernel.org

[Brian Austin]

Looking at the GIT logs for the linux-omap.git tree it seems pretty 
sparse like no for-next activity in quite a while.

I am using the OMAP for development and need to keep current with your 
platform.

So the questionis...

Is git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git
where the development is being done? I know that the kernel.org servers 
were down for a while and maybe the omap tree hasnt been fully updated 
from another remote one somewhere else?  Or is the fixes branch where all 
the work is done?

Thanks,
Brian

Yes that's the current URL. For most part all the code is in the
mainline kernel, and the linux-omap git tree is used for staging
the patches for every merge window. Right now the focus is getting
all the fixes into the -rc cycle, and over next few weeks we'll
get busy merging all the new code posted for the next merge window.

For stable versions, the latest stable mainline version is the
way to go, so that's v3.2.x right now. For development versions,
mainline v3.3-rc3 will contain the fixes you mentioned above.

Regards,

Tony

Thanks for the info Tony,

Just to give you some background,  I do my codec development on a 
"beagleboard like" system and use the for-next branch of ASoC for codec 
patches.  I have noticed some issues with the latest OMAP port in this 
branch and have seem the emails lately from Russell...

I have seen these issues for a while and would be more than happy to 
inform the OMAP folks of problems with the latest dev branches, kind of 
like a regression tester for you.  If I find something and can fix with a 
patch to email this list, what linux-omap branch should I base the patch 
off of?

Thanks,
Brian

Usually for fixes, it's best to base them on most recent mainline
tag that works. So right now either v3.2 or v3.3-rc3.
