Hi -
We've been getting some good mileage from the llct-based tilt-3.4 history tree the last months.
However a couple of points have been raised by TI which really boil down to being about the deal with llct post-release. We know that it goes on mutating and tracking as it should, but the release-specific version, like "linux-linaro-3.4" just sits there afaik.
The points raised were:
1) Can we have linux stable point release content in tilt-3.4? Rather than my doing it, isn't it better to add it to llc-3.4 and merge it on the lt history tree periodically? That way every lt can get them from one place.
2) What's the deal with things that were the latest and greatest at that time, ie, the best "CMA" or whatever series was in tracking, but after it got copied out to be linux-linaro-core-3.4, horrible bugs were fixed in linux-linaro-tracking? What's happening is that TI are sticking with these releases for a fair time as the basis for their release to customers.
I can see there's tension between tracking-style fix it for the future, and backport to old and crusty things, there's also issue of testing, but there must be some cases where this makes some sense. Again people looking after the feature tree for llct are best placed to make those calls about, "hm, that looks like it should maybe also go on the last couple of llc release trees".
What do you think about this?
