I have this board and I would very much like that it'll continue to be maintained. I just tested the ToT and it seems other than some minor warnings and request to use generic-board it is not in a bad shape.
I can continue testing at each release and after there are related patches. Would that help to have this board to be unorphaned ?
Thanks for offering to test this board. Are you willing to be a maintainer of this board?
Sure I'd be bappy if I could. I don't know what it takes exactly and not sure if I would qualify.
Testing every release and fixing problems (and asking for help when you need it to fix the problems) is all that's required. If you would send two patches, one to take over the maintainership and a second to convert to generic board (or find there's a problem with that and get the discussion started on what to do about it), that will do it.
I just sent a patch for generic board support for mpc837xerdb. I also cc'ed it to Kim Phillips as he is listed as mpc83xx custodian.
I have the mpc837x board and I'd like to maintain it. Should I send now also a patch to take over the maintainership ?
Thanks
