I've only performed the most basic build testing of these branches on a desktop system, building core-image-minimal and core-image-sato for our 5 qemu machines. 2. To date, we haven't had a clear process on how to transition from the maintainer's personal branch into the official repo branch. I'd like to develop a clear and documented process on doing this that involves community feedback on the commits. Just this week I've been able to start using the Yocto autobuilder to do more comprehensive testing of my denzil-next branch, so issue #1 is finally resolved, and I've got a green build to raise my confidence level: http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8010/builders/nightly/builds/462 So now to address issue #2. The goal is to incorporate community feedback, so I'm looking to get ACKs or NAKs for these commits before they go into the main denzil branch. My proposal is to send denzil pull requests to the appropriate mailing lists, and Richard can merge them into the main repo denzil branches once they've received review by the community. My goal is to send these pull requests about once per week, once I've managed to get a green build out of the Yocto autobuilder for my contrib branch. What do folks think about this? Now's your opportunity to offer feedback and influence this process. Thanks!
