Hello,
I've started posting this series well in advance to get it into 6.0 and yet it
seems like it may
be missing it due to organisational issues (no real complaints were found with
patches but
Philippe seems to like more review that does not seem to happen as nobody is
interested). Looks
like David is waiting for an ack from Philippe but will be away next week so if
this is not
resolved now it may be too late on Monday. To avoid that:
David, could you please send an ack before you leave for the last two patches
so it could get
committed via some other tree while you're away?
Philippe, if you can't ack the vt82c686 patches now are you OK with taking the
whole series via
your tree before the freeze? That would give you some more days to review and
it could always be
reverted during the freeze but if it's not merged now I'll have to wait until
the summer to get it
in again which would be another long delay. I don't think this will get more
reviews unless it's
in master and people can start using and testing it better.
Hello,
Since David seems to be away for this week before seeing my mail asking for an
ack from him, now
this can only get in by Philippe or Peter. (David said before he'd be OK with
the series if Philippe
acked it so I think that can count as an implicit ack and it could always be
reverted before the
releease.)
Philippe, do you have anything against this to get merged now? If not please
send a pull or ack it
so it has a chance to be in 6.0 or tell if you still intend to do anything
about it before the
freeze. This series was on the list since January and the remaining parts you
did not take are here
since February 22nd and the version after your first review since two weeks so
it would be nice to
sort this out and not block it any further without a good reason.
Pegasos looks like a New World PowerMac, so perhaps Mark can help?
The PPC part is mostly reviewed. The problem is the first patch:
"vt82c686: Implement control of serial port io ranges via config regs".
vt82c686.c is a Fuloong 2E file, why Fuloong 2E maintainers are not involved in
the review?
Philippe is MIPS maintainer and he was involved and reviewed most patches.
Huacai did not respond much and Jiaxun's email adress is constantly
stripped by the list so whenrver I add him it will be lost the next time.
He seems to be more interested in Fuloong 3 anyway so did not respond much
either.
All in all I think there's just not enough interest in these
machines/devices so my stance is that if it does not break anything just
take it now and then we'll have enough time for further review, fixing or
reverting during the freeze. Whereas if this is kept pushing back then
nothing will happen with them for the next 2-3 months then we'll be back
to here and miss the next release as well.
Regards,
BALATON Zoltan
