I think it would be nice to be able to have different kernel versions
for different targets. I'm building 2.6.21 for ar7-2.6 (WIP), because i
want to be in sync with OpenWrt.
Each platform-maintainer should be able to use the version he/she wants,
without having to wait for the other platforms to update their patches.
Unfortunatelly, this currently works (worked, you just kicked it
completely ;)) only very limited, because the patches in
target/linux/generic-2.x are always shared and might have to be upgraded
for a newer kernel. My proposed solution for this is to check for
existance of generic-${UNAME_R}, if a patch with the same name, e.g.
generic-${UNAME_R}/100-foobarpatch exists, it is used in favor of
generic-2.x/100-foobarpatch, but all other patches from generic-2.x/ are
used nevertheless. This way patches that still apply can left there, and
not too much code is redundant.
If we want to be consequent, this also has to be done for
{brcm,x86,rb,foobar}-2.x, though i rather don't think this is necessary.
But if the work to also implement it here is negligible it should be
done.
Comments, please. And i'd be glad if someone skilled could take the work
of implementing it nicely =)
Bye,
Lothar
PS: Chaos Communication Camp 2007 anyone? I'll be there quite sure.
PPS: Trac is dead, the sqlite db in the background seems to be borked.
