[U-Boot-Users] When are patches merged to mainline

[U-Boot-Users] When are patches merged to mainline

[Andrew Wozniak]

Hello Wolfgang,

I'm curious about the process for submitted patches and when they appear 
in the U-Boot codebase under CVS.  I've been merging today's CVS 
snapshot with our mods for a custom PPC440 board and found a piece of 
missing code.  A while back, the patch was submitted to the u-boot-users 
list by it does not appear to be in the latest codebase.

The specific patch message is:

From: Travis Sawyer <tsawyer+u-boot@sandburst.com>
To: u-boot-users at lists.sourceforge.net
Subject: [U-Boot-Users] PATCH:  update PVR for 440GX Rev C.
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2004 09:33:53 -0400

I'm a CVS newbee - am I doing something wrong when viewing/downloading 
the latest U-Boot codebase? The following was used to download the all 
source:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/u-boot u-boot

Thank you for any suggestions.

-Andy
