Subrata,
I think your idea is a good one, It will keep good track of what has
been changed for each special build making it easier for re-use in
other special builds.  I think this approach would address all the
issues.

Klas,
I understand your concerns but the problem with the version control
(branches) approach is who will maintain and keep up to date all of
the branches?  IMHO it is better to keep everything mainstream that
way all stays up to date and is visible to everyone with out checking
out multiple branches.

All,
Keeping everything mainstream will only work well if there is a good
regression plan established for making sure all patches are exercised
before each release.  I think with what we are doing as long as the
patch applies LTP will probably compile and work ok. There needs to be
some regression script that can be run to go through and set all the
special #ifdef's and make sure everything applies ok.

I have some patches I could submit to get this going, I'm just not
sure on the correct directory naming scheme.
Most of my patches are not because of the arch but because of the
memory limitations.  Should there be a directory:
/ltp/patches/mem-limitations/duringruntime-64mb.patch
Regards,
Shane
