OK, just added the following warning to http://linux-sunxi.org/U-Boot#Clone_the_repository "Note: the 'sunxi' branch in the u-boot-sunxi repository is currently under active development and also frequently merges in the changes from the upstream u-boot. Expect it to be occasionally broken. There is no stable branch or tag at the moment. If something does not work correctly, please consider trying older revisions from the 'sunxi' branch or look for any possible not-yet-applied fixes in the linux-sunxi and u-boot mailing lists." I'm perfectly fine with the "Law of the jungle". And regressions like this are usually easily fixable almost immediately after they are encountered. So I'm not the best person to complain about the current status quo :-) -- Best regards, Siarhei Siamashka -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
