"I'm in favor" might not be enough in this almost pre-release stage. AFAIK that Make version bump fixes an issue with possibly few stray ANSI color escapes (workaround is to use NO_COLOR=1 in this case) and \r characters in the log file. Is it really that big issue to do this last minute version bump? FYI that gcc6+ one was NACKed[1] by Yousong and I'm fine with that for 20.12 release. I plan to rebase/resend that patch once 20.12 is branched. 1. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openwrt/patch/20191112081625.27695-1-yn...@true.cz/#2301662 Cheers, Petr _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
