I understand that this is not the main concern for core OpenWRT developers, but on the other hand you must be aware that there exist several of these "forks" which carry project or vendor specific changes, stuff that can't be made OpenWRT trunk compatible, or not yet, or only in parts, etc... and making it easier for these "forks" to merge OpenWRT releases also makes it easier to merge project specific improvements back to OpenWRT trunk. Otherwise these "forks" stay real forks, which branch off at some revision and never merge again. That's why I think it would be good for OpenWRT to allow easier merging in all directions. Apart from that of course, the OpenWRT core developers are a pretty small team, and a centralized model may fit them well, especially if they don't want to include more people in the process. The decision is up to the core developers. bruno _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
