Split out any bitbake changes and send them to the bitbake-devel mailing list (marking them with the appropriate stable version in the subject line e.g. [1.20]) AK] I have not seen this being done in the past. Should we start doing this or update the process ? 7. Split out OE-Core changes and create an openembedded-core-contrib branch containing them; send the cover letter only (marking it as such in the subject) to the openembedded-core mailing list. AK] I don't have write access to do this, so this will be a problem. 8. Split out any meta-yocto changes and create a poky-contrib branch containing them; send the cover letter only (marking it as such in the subject) to the poky mailing list. AK] Is this required? I do agree that the downstream repos are where the changes should be pushed first then feed poky. This is not what I have seen happen in the past nor did I do it for dizzy either. regards, Armin
