To clarify what we have been doing until now and what is hence being perceived as a general rule (though I'm not sure it has ever been formalized): Adding support for new devices to stable branches is ok and should even be encouraged if and only if * it's been in master for a week or so and didn't break the build * no changes on kernel or tools are needed * all features can be supported just as well as similar boards already supported in that branch Cheers Daniel > > > > > Best > > > > Adrian > > > > -- > TMN > > _______________________________________________ > openwrt-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
