I think you misinterpreted the intent of my statement, the goal is to
provide the best support we can for the open source versions and get
feedback as well. However, specifically stating what will be done for
each release, branch, layer, etc is not something that is a
deliverable on the open source end and I don't see it happening soon.
That being said, there is no malicious intent and supporting upstream
and making it work as well as possible is the ultimate goal so our SDK
release requires less effort and work.
I may have misinterpreted your statement but it seems you make a
difference between the open source version and the SDK release : isn't
that roughly the same thing when we talk of meta-fsl-* where the SDK
release can be seen as a snapshots of the opensource stable branch at
the date of the release ? If not what are the differences ?
They *should* be the same. But for SDK releases sometimes we skip
entire Yocto releases (e.g. danny). SDK versions *may* contain
slightly different versions. This comes into play more with oe-core
where we don't have official control and we need to include a specific
fix for the SDK. Layers themselves tend to have less reason to deviate
from the upstream versions since we control both sides so they
*should* be the same.
Thanks Matthew. It's great that you are explaining things to us, but all
this information will become stale in a matter of weeks or even days. I
believe we need Zhenhua's layers document to describe what we have been
discussing regarding policies on how the SDK branches will be
maintained, where to pull the latest stable SDK patches from the various
servers, and how the same named trees are managed on the different servers.
If nothing can be promised, then at least state it in the document
rather than gloss over it.
Also, I hope the layers organization document will be posted on an FSL
site and become maintained documentation or perhaps a Wiki.
Also, do you plan to sync the public accessible git tree only when you
do a release or will they get the patches in "realtime" ?
These should go in real time esp. if we are working on the current
release (e.g. master branch). Right now we are still using denzil
until the May release which will be based on what is now master.
