[U-Boot-Users] ColdFire custodian change?

[Stefan Roese]

Hi TsiChung,

we already talked about it in private mail, but I would like to switch this to 
the list, so that the community can follow (and comment) this thread. You are 
very active in ColdFire U-Boot development and seem to be much better suited 
to do this custodian job for this platform than I am right now.

So again my question to you: Are you willing to become the new ColdFire U-Boot 
custodian? Please let me know if you have any questions about this. I would 
welcome a "yes" very much. ;)

Best regards,
Stefan

Stefan,

	Before answering your question, I would like to know more about becoming a ColdFire U-boot custodian. What are the job duties as a U-boot custodian other than maintaining, updating and merging the u-boot source from/to main branch? Do I need a user account at Denx?

	Thanks!

Regards,
TsiChung

That's it. This includes reviewing ColdFire related patches of course. And 
making sure that everything in your custodian repository is according to the 
U-Boot standards (coding style etc.). You can of course always ask, if you 
are unsure or have any questions. Please take a loot at this page too:

You just need to send us your ssh public key, so that we can give you write 
access to the ColdFire custodian repository.

Best regards,
Stefan

Stefan,

	We have one candidate is better suit for ColdFire custodian, and his name is John Rigby. He will be transition to take the ColdFire custodian responsibilites in this coming early October. For now, I can temporary take the responsibilites until then. Is this proposal okay with you and Wolfgang?

May I ask why this is the case? I have a few mails from John, but most of the 
CodFire stuff sent to the list was done by yourself.

Best regards,
Stefan

Stefan,

	One main reason is sharing some of my responsibilities. He will
be managing the updates that are push/pull to/from your repository and
done properly to meet u-boot coding style. Since he is already a u-boot
custodian within Freescale, he has better skill in handling and managing
git than I do. Also, he can keep the Freescale ColdFire repository
synchronize with Denx repository.

	I am still doing the same function as before, reviewing ColdFire
related patches internal or external, updating, merging, maintaining,
etc.

	Hope this explanation help a bit. :)

Regards,
TsiChung

Wolfgang and Stefan,

	I am referred to the CustodianGitTrees to generate the public SSH key using "ssh-keygen -t rsa". Should I enter something for the passphrase?

	Do you want me to email you the key thru mailling list or directly to you?

	Thanks!

Regards,
TsiChung
