no, I don't know of issues. much of my testing has been related to GTA01, though - since merging gta01 support mainline was the primary focus at the last time i touched the code. > So we would now like to know what your plans with the tree are. > Are there any major changes you plan to make in the next days that > would interfere with evaluation and moving it over to OpenMoko > mainline ? No. I'm probably going to submit the second incarnation. > Besides that, what's the situation with upstream merges ?

Basically most of the stuff is blocked until the core machine support is merged, which it hasn't yet. I've incorporated many changes and will re-submit the full series at some point next week. > Looking at the 2.6.24 "series", I take it that the first block has > already been successfully pushed, but what about the others. Also, > "pending review" are problematic ones, so I suppose that means > "review before trying to push", correct ? if you define 'successfully' as 'most stuff has been acked by the maintainers but it is still not in mainline' then I agree with your assessment/observation. -- - Harald Welte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://openmoko.org/ ============================================================================ Software for the world's first truly open Free Software mobile phone
