Hey all (especially people committing into <openwrt-packages.git>), since I created the "testing" branch in "openwrt-xburst.git" - and therewith kind of "froze" it for everything but urgent / critical fixes (for more information read my previous mail below) - I didn't create a "testing" branch in the packages repository "openwrt-packages.git".
So "openwrt-packages.git" didn't get frozen - but (meanwhile) broken instead :) I did now create a "testing"-branch in the "openwrt-packages.git"-repository as well. The current "testing"'s HEAD points to the commit <7e2ca971d2fc7146852f455f844aaf99e26b183b> - the state which I used for building the testing image. To all openwrt-packages.git-committers: >From the git-log I can't see which commits are critical ones and which are not. Please merge over commits from "master" to "testing" which you think are critical ones / bug fixes (use <git cherry-pick>). Since the merge window is almost closed and the final image is going to be built soon (see below), I'd like to ask you to do so as soon as possible :) Thanks for your attention, this is a non-smoking flight...
