Hi guys, We track linux-xlnx master trunk, which tracks linus' main trunk. (i.e. Xilinx merges actual linux mainline tags into their master)
This is great since it allows us to put our work on our master, and then be compatible with future linux versions by simple merge of Xilinx's tree. Good job Xilinx! Now, problem is, when one wants to release in the field, he should apply the latest stable fixes to his tree. Otherwise, as Greg insistently points out: https://youtu.be/HeeoTE9jLjM?t=1350 "you are running an insecure system." Right now, I am on 2019.1 which means kernel 4.19. I went ahead and created a mymaster-4.19 which will contain merges of mymaster and stable/linux-4.19.y from Greg's tree (as of today: v4.19.80). This should work without much conflicts, but of course, I'm not getting a freebie today either. I get tons of conflicts which are Xilinx changes which conflict with 4.19.y stable fixes. Some are trivial, some truely aren't. And then I think, hey, why am I the "first" to be doing this... we should all be in this situation right? So is there a repo out there, where kind souls have exposed the conflict resolution work done? Thanks for your help and input guys! -- _______________________________________________ meta-xilinx mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-xilinx
