Yes, I got -rc1 out sooner than we do historically. I think there's a few changes I would like to make about how we handle branching, releasing and merge windows. But this thread has reminded me that I need to think very carefully about how we manage branches that are longer lived. And I don't want to make big changes for v2013.01 but prepare everyone to try them for v2013.04 (and .07). - -- Tom -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQeDwHAAoJENk4IS6UOR1WGdkP/1MbKMql6CZ8sAff1jnJqWXv XNwblGN0uKC2qgOT4wxVD5pY6w/ZzE6zFJuhPqSz5Ham2GKggBzlKodYY0hDWhua b8CdK8f4YOwDb5FJ07oi0/LxUQMq1SN0j+KVY6HBv5JoLlwiAm2G7XpBLGn8SkBJ cqqBuN3y0KS3CI2eoJ3rli5sInATxh9f1f0WckTANaF6kRAgbriZutHOflVw45KG hh63tGGO0ERJRmUlhkpGH20Vizbxd7VqX9AWydlam1RuJ513+/EX7YvZ5/mmOqPA ReNfj6bnaY8YOVh8fs9h+LG2a5soZJYxEx1N01R3dz3me3On48li30GdO39m79EH aKPYN5AwcsA6LrGt7eTPjseqhB/OIezeIrjYGO2ESZDZVoB4TG3QRYAiNNijRgfN 9BcUAn/b5lue2L3GhG/37BOyV6xjxXjDEjvpp0rYW1Stnssa0egFXTYwf9x+pRim 9MlLvGEi1ckbtIq9qa2aeoUxYIqyKPPFtIYlL5Vbt8d52fMYg6mRntpIe2RSIGu7 e+FpzRlyRFgOpcJGEhjG+VByT3AZXHYRF6h69ZNUDGBA7ax8q5UgAnWpEUfl5KN5 NncdltZm4oOopFvrzLZUj5B+RksPGQQtjAhb6r+VZHJ5MbCRTUUFaBmrT8IeDudJ tMUW7jbcmx8dELDSPqe6 =aW9J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
