[U-Boot-Users] Patch approvation procedure

Hi, Just for curiosity I'd like to know (and understand) what is the patch approvation procedure. For example I posted a PXA270 MAINSTONE patch on 9/3/06 and then Wolfgang added it with the new system on 1/4/06 [DNX#2006040142000295] Which are the requirements for approvation and subsequent insertion in the development tree ? TIA

There is no formal procedure, I'm afraid. We just work on this as time permits.

There is only one requirement: free time for this type of work - free time for me or one of the other guys (Stefan, Heiko) who do this.

Mr. Wolfgang I do with these steps, it shows some error like this: 1) Build a config successful 2) Then Copy whole u-boot directory to a diferrent directory, and remove old directory. 3) make clean 4) make some_config 5) make dep 6) make ./bmp_logo logos/denx.bmp
/home/mqy/LinuxDEV/mg-filesystem/u-boot/include/bmp_logo.h
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mqy/LinuxDEV/mg-filesystem/u-boot/tools' make -C examples all make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mqy/LinuxDEV/mg-filesystem/u-boot/examples' make[1]: *** no rule can build “hello_world.o” need “ /home/mqy/LinuxDEV/AT9200/DataFlash-Ver/u-boot/include/common.h” stopped make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mqy/LinuxDEV/mg-filesystem/u-boot/examples' make: *** [examples] error 2
And I checked the error directory's .depend file, it shows that the common.h reference to old directory, it looks like that "make clean" or "make unconfig" can't fix it. After I add a new command in the "clean" section of "Makefile", and repeat once again, it's all ok! This is the command: rm -rf `find ./ -name .depend`

Why don't you perform the steps exactly as documented in the manual?

Wow. Today is a real "RTFM" day, it seems :-(

This is no reason for not following the instructions in the manual - and then complaining if it doesn't work.
Doctor, it hurts when I poke into my eye with a spoon. Don't do it, then!
