You're right it's a good question. What I have in mind is not to
leave the patchset as the current pile of semi-history patches all
intermingled but impose topic-branch ordering on them.
So for example, I was quite surprised to see so many patches on net
core subsystem, lots on net / wireless subsystem too all through the
series. It would be interesting to re-order the patches so we had
all the net core stuff in one layer, wireless-related stuff in
another layer all together and so on, same way tilt-tracking is
composed. We don't have to get OCD about it and do everything, we
can have a topic at the end with stuff contaminated from all
directions and leave it like it is for now. But I guess most
patches will go into a topic if it is ordered correctly.
Thats an interesting idea. We should not miss the opportunity to discuss
the idea of reordering the patches with AOSP to see if they would be
willing to take/collaborate on such an effort. Can you kick off such
discussion on AOSP mailing lists?
Sure I'll propose it cc-ing linaro-dev and -kernel.
It's two separate issues for these guys if they want to have a fulltime
tracking kernel to get away from "the -rc7 blues" they must suffer from
at the moment, and if refactoring the patchset is helpful for them or not.
OK good. It's set up but we seem to have build issues; guess android
team will fix that later today:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/tracking-panda/.
No worries, I appreciate it's on its way.
