Hi!
I'd be interested in maintaining u-boot-socfpga repository. So far, we don't have a repo for this platform and there is a large flurry of patches flying around without any kind of central point for them. I'd like to get your formal consent for starting this and if you agree, I'd start sending PR to Albert once the repo is in place.
I maintain a linux git repo at git://git.rocketboards.org/linux-socfpga-next.git. It would be trivial for us to maintain a u-boot repo at the same location.
"a large flurry of patches flying around"? Funny, that I have not been CCed on any of these patches.
Chin-Liang, have you been?
I'm sorry about that. I understood you are working on Linux, and only seen u-boot patches from Chin-Liang, so I cc-ed him..
Hi guys,
To move things forward, I would propose myself to act as the custodian for the SOCFPGA repository after discussing with Dinh. I have been active on U-Boot forum and hopefully build up some credibility :). At same time, this will enforce someone from Altera (Dinh, Vince and myself) to review and ack each submitted patch. We would also able to help to test and offer any troubleshooting assistant to the patch submitter.
Hopefully would get a green light from everyone. We really appreciate Marek's suggestion as the repo is a great idea to speed up the SOCFPGA patch submission process. It will offload some of Albert's heavy load too as currently we heavily rely for Albert to integrate SOCFPGA patches. Due to that, to benefit everyone, we would like to have this repo as soon as possible.
Wonder any green light on this? The repo would help to speed up the SOCFPGA development especially for the on-going reviewing and testing of Marek's patches. Thanks
OK, I've thought about this a lot. I think the best way forward is to have a new tree on git.denx.de, u-boot-socfpga that Marek will run for the v2014.10 merge window. This will give the Altera team time to get up to speed and build up their reputation in the community so that with the v2015.01 window they can take things over.
Wolfgang or Detlev, please make the new tree, thanks guys!
