Hello,
I'm working on a BSP for a board based on the RK3568, and most of the
required support is already in linux mainline (6.1-rc*). I'm currently
backporting patches to the 6.0.2 branch, but that's becoming a pain to
maintain (just realized I had a few missing..).
Are there any plans to include the 6.1 branches in linux-yocto-dev? Is
there anything I can do to help?
Yes, there will be 6.1 branches in the -dev kernel. I typically
introduce them around -rc3 or -rc4. That avoids most of the churn and
allows some of the coupled userspace packages to update. >
Nothing that can really be done to help, it is just a matter of time now.
Friendly reminder, 6.1-rc5 was released yesterday.
I'm quite aware.
Multiple parts of the userspace need to be updated to work for 6.1. In
particular the on-target build support. I have 4 of the 6
architectures fixed now, and then will be looking into the rest of the
support applications.
It is much more than creating the branches, and booting a single
board. While the -dev kernels are not as fully tested as the released
reference ones, they are significantly tested to ensure sanity and
core support across all architectures.
Sorry, I didn't realize it was already in motion.
BTW, linux-5.19 was EOL'ed at the end of last month. Would it be a good
idea to also refresh the 6.0 branch to 6.0.8, and maybe update the
default KBRANCH to 6.0?
I'm also aware of the -stable releases, EOL dates, etc.
I sent the patch to update the default to 6.0, it never did get
merged, but I haven't pursued it, as I'm going to 6.1 shortly.
Sounds good, thank you!
Cheers,
Renato
