i'm asking for the Blackfin pieces to be merged regardless of "merge window".
I already said "no", and I see no reason to reconsider.
then the Blackfin tree stays broken. whatever, no skin off my back.
i'm making no requests wrt review. Wolfgang wants it reviewed first -- i'm fine with that. complaining that Blackfin changes are going in that arent "pure fixes" i dont care about (right now).
Hm.. you did read http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/DevelopmentProcess - didn't you?
of course i have. writing out rules is to codify the spirit of the process so that people can jump in and know how things works. however, the point of the rules isnt to have a rigid unchanging methodology, but to keep things flowing in the spirit: merge windows allow new fun stuff while the non-merge time is for bugfixes only. this of course assumes that the tree in question is stable/usable in the first place. if it isnt, then there isnt much point to locking out changes to move it in that direction. -mike
