Now that the LT branches included in linux-linaro (ll) are based on llct, then they could modify the board configs in llct if required for the work in their topics. So at the moment, I can't think of a good reason not to pub all the board configs into llct. Can anyone else?
I don't know if we need the board configs to be sourced from a single repo, or allow board configs to be included in llct from LT trees. One central repo means that people know where to go
This seems like the easiest option to me. Let's do it this way unless someone gives a valid objection.
(Unless we had an official maintainer to manage all commits to the tree.)
I assume this would have to be Andrey. Andrey, are you OK with that? Or does someone else need to do it?
Each LT that is using LLCT would have to send a patch to get their config updated. So long as this happens in a timely manner, LTs should be able to live with that process.
I suppose we are talking about the basic board config here. That should be ok. The new board enablement config fragments should always go in with the respective topic branches.
I agree.
OK, can we do it then? We're freezing for release today, but it's not a big change, so we can get it in, right?
At some point in the past, Andrey asked:
My question is if this topic branch would be kernel/configs.git,
Sounds perfect
config-boards-tracking branch or something else?
I don't have an opinion. We'll probably have to live with it for a long time, but as long as it looks sensible, I'm sure people will be ok...
config-boards-tracking branch already has got config fragment for Origen board, but this config file has enabled all the config options used in all the topic branches too. If we plan to keep it that way, I suggest to add the basic board config file to config-core-tracking. (It makes sense as we would be enabling only mainline components that is essential to boot the board). Any further modification to these can always be done through LT topic branches.
Andrey, let me know which way you would prefer the patch?
