I would really like to see a first buildroot-ng kamikaze version come out. I
am quite happy using trunk - but am getting slightly sick of saying 'you
might just have to build your own trunk' on #openwrt, knowing how much
improvement there is in trunk compared to the last release.
I certainly second the idea that WIP day focus on - in order of preference:
1) Applying patches that have come in - or at the very least responding
to
the contributor with
a) request for the patch to be fixed up
b) request for information on what is fixed
c) a reason for postponing the patch
d) a reason for declining the patch
2) Getting packages to build that currently won't
then
3) Bug-fixes
Certainly, there may be a lot of bugs out there, but giving outside
contributors some idea that they are valuable should be a high priority,
since the more valuable they feel, the more inclined they will be to post
their bugs, and the more valuable they will, in fact, be in helping with
point 3).
