Hi,
I feel, Linaro should maintain only 2 versions - stable and unstable external source. instead of maintain staging, tracking, landing, mainline etc .. I understand internally lot of activities may happen with partners. But for external people, it is should be simple. As of now, only people who are closely tracking the Linaro development can start using the code quickly. Others cannot and it is not the case with AOSP.
Is there any page on wiki, which can explain staging, tracking, landing & mainline sources.
Bye :)
