[U-Boot] Stepping down as sunxi u-boot custodian (for real this time)
Hi All,
A while back I wrote:
"Between my $dayjob, linux-sunxi, other foss projects and last but not least spending time with my wife and children I'm way too busy lately.
So I've decided to seriously scale back my involvement in linux-sunxi, as such I'm going to step down as u-boot sunxi custodian."
After that I did get some breathing room, and kept doing sunxi u-boot maintenance until now, but this still feels too much like a job rather then a hobby. The problem is that I don't want to think during the weekend: "Oh !@#$ I still need to prep a u-boot sunxi pull-req"
This is nothing against the u-boot community, I think you're all great and I still love thinkering with this kind of stuff, but when a hobby starts feeling as a chore something is wrong.
So after this mail I'm going to send a mail updating the MAINTAINERS status of sunxi to orphan and I will also unsubscribe myself from the u-boot list to protect myself against getting dragged in again.
I do expect (after taking a break for a couple of weeks) that I will likely submit the occasional patch, but at this point in time I do not want any maintainer responsibilities.
Yesterday and today I've gone over my pending patches queue, reviewed then all and I've merged all the ones which looked good into u-boot-sunxi/next, so that should be a good starting point for the next maintainer.
Jagan (in the Cc) has indicated in the past that he is interested in taking over as sunxi custodian, Jagan already is the SPI custodian, so I believe that he will do well.
So Jagan, if you still want the job, go for it.
Regards,
Hans

This is very sad and unfortunate for the U-Boot community. I'm really sorry to hear this. But I can fully understand you and totally respect your decision.
I would like to thank you for all your input and hard work that you've done for this project in the last years. Your comments have always been very productive and your dedicated involvement has taken the sunxi U-Boot support to the next level and also improved U-Boot in general.
Thanks again, Stefan

I just want to thank you for all the time and effort you've put in on U-Boot you've put in. We would not be where we are today without what you've done, so once again, thanks!

So long, and thanks for all the fish! :-)

Don't forget to update (or get updated) the list of custodians on the website (which is where I found the info): http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Custodians

I don't believe I have a denx.de wiki account.
Tom can you fix this please?

Thanks for everything you have done, Hans! Are there really 100 sunxi boards? You have been busy.

That was 99 a few weeks ago when I checked, but 100 is a much better number!

Yep.

So Jagan, if you still want the job, go for it.
As I said before, I can help whoever is willing to take over by becoming co-maintainer for some time, in order to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Jagan, are you still willing to do this?

Yes, Maxime I will do this, please help me for initial transition and technical details if any. Can I get any board sample from any all-winner or related communities?
thanks!

Feel free to send any 64-bit (A64, H64, H5) related questions/patches into my direction. I can test stuff, also give advice and do reviews.
Cheers, Andre.
P.S. I was thinking about stepping up here, but would end up in the same situation as Hans quicker than one could say "Allwinner" ;-)

Hans, I see few redundant commits on next wrt latest master in b/w, can you point me diff commits which needs to send PR? I tried of comparing but not get the exact result.
thanks!

If you checkout u-boot-sunxi/next and then do a "git rebase u-boot/master" git should give you a new next branch, with the already merged commits removed.

Hans
