------- Comment From kamale...@in.ibm.com 2015-07-01 09:06 EDT------- Our proposal was to update the ppc64-diag to available upstream/stable. So, that the package could have all of the must have bug fixes and enhancements, along with good have commits. The version was v2.6.7, when we opened the bug as a place holder but the idea was to pick the latest available on the day of cut-date.Which could have been v2.6.8, as v2.6.9 was release couple of days back.
We were informed that as policy, the updated package would not be picked from upstream. Whereas, we could cherry pick patch(s) which were required. We came up will list of patches attached to the bugzilla, they can be classified into two 1. Bug fixes for the bugs, which are seen in v2.6.7 and below. 2. Certain enchantments/functionalities, which are required for Little-Endian platform to be supported.
