[U-Boot-Users] Any schedule or plan to publish your "testing" branch?

Dear Mr.Scott Wood,
I noticed that you are now maintaining a custodian tree which is focused on NAND support in u-boot. Could you please tell me is there any schedule or plan to publish your "testing" tree? Thanks.
BR, Eric

What do you mean by "publish"? The branch is public all the time. It's available to everibode in the NAND custodian repository. See for example http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-nand-flash.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/t...

I guess Hong Xu would like to know if there is a plan for merging this branch in the main U-boot git repository. And if so, how and when? Scott Wood has already signaled that he intends to merge this branch, but I would also like to know about any progress in this matter.

Yes, William hit the point. Actually It seems my work is based on two different custodian trees, for example, Scott's NAND tree and u-boot-at91 tree. If the 2 two trees do not merge each other, sometimes I got screwed. I guess `git ' may help at this situation, but I don't know how. :-) I just wanted to know the status of the NAND tree. Maybe I did not express myself clearly in the last email.

You can create your own local development branch, and merge both the NAND testing branch and the at91 stuff into this branch. There may be merge conflicts, of course, but I think both trees are pretty orthogonal to each other, so chances for such conflicts are probably small.

...and if there *are* merge conflicts, you can contribute back to the u-boot list (a) that there is a pending conflict and (b) a resolution, if you have one. Having the knowledge of a merge conflict *before* the merge window opens is useful. Having a proposed resolution is even more useful.
Thanks, gvb
