I think we don't need "testing" branch, since we have the VERSIONS file[1]. all the commit should goto "master" branch and "master" should always ready for release, AFAIK, it's always create a tag like 2010-11-10-rc1 for testing etc. and some project create a "next" branch for gathers all commits to be delayed after release. since there is no >30 people commit to openwrt-xburst.git we don't need the -rc1 or "next" either. so let's just keep using "master" branch and VERSIONS file. what do you think? BTW: we definitely need those two commit in "master" (that's why I advice master branch as release branch :) *[linux] support increase/decrease in screen brightness *[config.full_system] add gcc-mips, fixed in openwrt package: 8dbf61c, tested in build hosts [1]http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/software/images/NanoNote/Ben/testing/2010-11-07/VERSIONS > > > A summarized change log of major improvements / changes: > > - heavily restructured git repository to make it more easy to track > changes with upstream > - change rootfs size from 256MB to 512MB > - switch back to uclibc 0.9.30.1, since we experienced issues with > 0.9.32 which are going to be investigated > - all used toolkits (sdl, gtk2, qt4) are working again > - lot's of packages - within the openwrt-packages as well as in the > qi-packages repository - have been updated to fit more the needs of > NanoNote users new packages and features: CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_ASSUME_UNICODE=y CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_VI_8BIT=y CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CONFIG_STAT=y CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HOSTNAME=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_gforth=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_kexec-tools=y (I like this :) CONFIG_PACKAGE_picoc=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_jbig2dec=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_openjpeg=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_unifont=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_cmdpad=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_ghostscript=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_hwclock=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_io=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_mupdf-tools=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_binutils=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_libbfd=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_objdump=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_erlang=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_jbofihe=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_lojban-wordlists=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_makfa=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_fbgs=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_fbi=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_ben-cyrillic=m (I like this, hope more package like this come out :) CONFIG_PACKAGE_nupdf=y (using ./scripts/feeds search PACKAGE_NAME for get some package info) > - lot's of new and fixed packages have been added to the default config > and therewith image > - the toolchain and SDK are now built by default to simplify > development and cross-compiling / -linking of software > some addition: - we have add data/ for keeping NanoNote special files. conf/ ├── config.full_system #the .config file for our release ├── config.minimal #very very small rootfs, only have base package. no gtk ... ├── config.xbboot #this is for create zImage + initramfs image. #which is for reflash,testing kernel or for FUN :) ├── config.xbboot.README └── feeds.conf #NanoNote default feeds.conf, always cp it to openwrt ROOT folder scripts/ ├── build #a scripts build NanoNote images, will keep build log, versions, etc. └── reflash_ben.sh #the openwrt release reflash scripts file. files/ #additions files in openwrt rootfs. Hi Mirko I have create a daily building (every two days) of openwrt: http://fidelio.qi-hardware.com/~xiangfu/compile-log/ the next build will trigger at 2010-11-11, if everything compile fine. I advice use 2010-11-11 as the next release. another thing is I am thinking of should we include the minimal rootfs[2] and zImage[3] to next release. the zImage works pretty good now. so maybe it's the time to include the zImage, minimal rootfs, I am not sure.
