Dear Juergen, Thank you very much, I'll do as you say and will send the patches to the ptxdist mailing list in case they may be helpful for others.
I have two further questions if I may: - What is the criteria for selecting the placement of rules file between "bsp" and "platform"? (what is exactly the difference between bsp and platform) - I also have some patches that fix some minor issues in (Linux) device drivers related to the mini2440. What is the proper procedure for this? Should I send them to the OSELAS mailing list? Or perhaps this is not the proper place for this?
