I see. Do you have a lot of open source experience? If you do, then you'll know that the OpenOCD community has a very fast paced policy where we pick out the best, acceptable bits of patches rather than ignoring them entirely until they have the spacing, formatting, etc. "just right". I didn't see a followup post from you to the commit. If you make the effort to document and explain those changes for the benefit of everybody, including those that committed it, I don't think you'll have problems getting anything that makes sense committed. You may learn something along the way too. > The repository is my personal copy. But I believe you will not need a > password to suck code from it. Note that Mercurial/GIT doesn't make people cooperate, it allows them to cooperate. At this point in time, I think you'll find it unlikely that the OpenOCD maintainers will go hunt for modifications to OpenOCD as there are plenty of changes every day to merge in on the mailing list from those that do have the time to help cooperate on a common strategy. -- Øyvind Harboe http://www.zylin.com/zy1000.html ARM7 ARM9 XScale Cortex JTAG debugger and flash programmer _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
