Yep. Life moved on. Eric Miao is Linux PXA guru these days. but I never got involved with OpenOCd+XScale though. > > That's a classical problem with patch tracking systems. they get > > cluttered with patches that become outdated and/or obsolete. > > Which is why Linux uses mailing lists and relies on > reposting, instead of a database that needs much more > attention than is available. Yep. And so does git and other projects. Now let's hope that the move to Git will allow proper patch attributions to be recorded in the repository, instead of only committer information as it was the case with SVN (attribution in the commit log isn't good enough). that would allow for 'blame' to work properly which helps a lot when it's time to CC the biggest contributor of a file (which usually happens to be the best person to review the patch). For example, I'd be interested to be CC'd on Feroceon related patches, otherwise chances for me to miss them are much greater. Nicolas
