[U-Boot-Users] u-boot source - cvs versus git
Hi,
I understand that U-Boot development and source is now management using "git". Since the cvs tree does seem to be pretty recent, is it ok to pull the latest U-Boot source from the cvs tree? Or is there less risk of missing important code patches by using git?
After several failures at building git for my RH7.2 system, I decided to go back to using cvs - it just works!

The git and CVS trees are 100% in sync. All commits on the git tree have been checked in in parallel on the CVS tree, too.
Perhaps you might be so kind as to elucidate why you think the CVS tree might not be up to date?

The code is exactly the same.

Ummm.. RH7.2 is pretty old, with a list of known andunfixed exploits. If I were you I would consider to update my development host system insted.

This is good news.

I recall reading a few older messages which suggested that CVS tree might be lagging behind.

Yes it is outdated. This is a "crash-and-burn" machine I had been using for testing legacy products and haven't had time to upgrade it. Considering it is a triple boot machine makes upgrading even more time consuming.
Guten tag, Andrew

The public CVS server at SourceForge needs sometimes hours or even 1...2 days to sync the pub;ic repository from the developer's machine. But this is nothing I can change.
CVS should be considered dead anyway; I recommend to use git instead.
