Greetings,
So far I wasn't updating the linux-linaro tree since the 12.04 release. (The generic topic updates were being done to the linux-linaro-core-tracking tree)
Now it is time to move the focus to the linux-linaro tree. For one week it will use the mainline tip as the base.
What happened to this?
linux-linaro hasn't changed for 4 weeks now, so our vexpress 'tracking' builds of Android and Ubuntu are in fact the same kernels as the 12.04 release.
It doesn't matter as long as llct is moving - and it has been, Andrey is doing a really nice job. If we can get all the LTs to base on llct, and get all the important things standardized in llct, then everything will come right.
Nobody cares that we glued a couple dozen patches from ARM LT on one other LT tree as a one-off.
OK, so you're saying linux-linaro is dead/on-hold and I should go back to maintaining my own branches for releasing Ubuntu and Android VExpress kernels? If that's true, I wish people would actually tell me these things.
Dude I'm not in charge, I'm just relating the facts.
linux-linaro-tracking is currently meaningless to anyone. Naturally it doesn't get updated, it's a meaningless Potemkin village.
llct is very valuable though and if we take care about it as we all should, eventually it will be able to generate a meaningful linux-linaro-tracking itself because it caused the LTs to converge on all the critical points.
In the meanwhile the thing we should all be taking care about is understanding the current deep incompatibilities in LT trees - like Mali - and steering things in the right direction. But somehow excluding topics became the fetish for half a year now and afaik nobody - nobody - has actually tried to bind the LT trees together to discover the issues since I last did it in Dec.
