Zhenhua, Otavio, Thanks guys for your feedback. I am very glad to hear that you accept security or other patches from Enea.
Some background: We scan oss-security public mailing list ([email protected]) and other reliable open source mailing lists. Whenever a vulnerability (e.g. CVE-2014-4667 Linux kernel: sctp: sk_ack_backlog wrap-around problem) gets published/announced on these lists, we try to apply the patch in all Linux kernels (or other open source packages) in our distribution and run some tests. We want to help the community and contribute back the results of our work, that is why we want to apply patches in the vendor-layer (e.g met-fsl-ppc) so others can get the security fixes without extra work. > Tomorrow we'll have our monthly meeting[1] and it'd be good if you > could join us. Unfortunately I am on vacation and couldn't join this meeting but hopefully I can attend in your future meetings.

Adding them to Yocto Project BSP and getting those merged upstream. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
