Hi Roland,
regarding the status of the dockstar integration:
Yes, indeed - the feedback only touched some formal points. Reworking the patches should be easy.
taken from http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,881,978#msg-978 :
"Cool. I'm currently hung up on making my patches work with the new ARM relocation stuff that's been pulled into the upcoming (2010.09) release. I just don't know enough about the low-level hardware to know how to adapt it. So I'm waiting for the "real" SheevaPlug maintainers to adapt their code, then it should be trivial to copy."
Yes I read that. Has anybody pinged the SheevaPlug maintainer about it?
If nothing happens on this front, I believe there are examples of what the conversion has to do and it should not be _that_ difficult to do it. Of course the mailing list is always a good ressource for actual problems ;)
regarding broken gmane search:
(just wondering, why i did not find that via google and gmane search on the u-boot mailing list archive - i searched for dockstar and for freeagent , but got no hits!)
Actually I have no clue. The gmane search seems to miss newer articles of this year. I'll try to contact Lars about this.
Any update on this ? Search on gmane is definitely broken.
No, thanks for reminding - I just sent another ping.
Btw, i found that marc.info also has u-boot searchable archive at http://marc.info/?l=u-boot , so maybe it helps if another link would be added on http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot ? Some may find that marc.info is more easy to use/browse anyway, and the guys @marc.info offer an remarkable and reliable service.
<hint> That page is a wiki page </hint> :)
Cheers Detlev
