The cleanup after the reorganization of the ARM code has not been completed yet. At the moment, approapprox, 100+ ARM boards are *broken* and *do not compile*.
Board maintainers or other interested parties are requested to adapt their boards within the current merge window. All boards that have not been fixed within the first week of the merge window are considered unmaintained and without interest to the community and will be removed.
It's funny how this reminds me of package build failures in Debian; in such cases, we start by publishing the list of affected packages ideally with links to build logs and the name of corresponding maintainers. After a while, we actually start Cc:ing the maintainers or filing bug reports against each failing package.
Would it make sense to publish such a list of broken boards and corresponding maintainers? (Maybe some makeall + scripts magic?)
This is a sample list of Debian packages not declaring the upstream "Homepage" properly: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/02/msg00367.html
