Thanks for taking an interest! > It seems this bug is on hold because there is no one available to test > it. Is there anything I can do to help with that? It's more than just a one-time test needed; someone needs to be willing to test new versions periodically, so we don't end up with an unusable u-boot installed on someone's machine in a stable release. For more information about being a tester, please see: https://wiki.debian.org/U-boot https://wiki.debian.org/U-boot/Status Most important is to run the tests with the default u-boot environment, otherwise you can end up with bugs leftover from older versions. For this reason, I avoid using saveenv from the u-boot prompt. Ideally also testing both a cold boot as well as reboot, and if possible various boot methods. You would also kind of serve as a point of contact to help troubleshoot issues with u-boot. I test quite a few boards myself, but I can't test all boards, and it's nice to share the work with others. I should probably add some of this to the wiki... If you're up for doing that and having your name and email in the debian/targets file listed with whatever board(s) you're willing to test, reply to the bug and I'll add it to the next upload! live well, vagrant
