We've had two instances of this problem for all the builds we've ever done. One instance was trying to sync u-boot and the other was trying to sync the TI LT kernel. John Rigby suggested the branch approach and it seems to have worked, so I'd like to go with that.
Paul is working on a change to make tags usable as well. It seems to me that we have a couple of options
1) Use branches long term. Paul can continue to push the patch for correctness sake, but we don't plan to use it.
2) Use branches for now. Paul fixes repo to make tags usable, at which point we allow people (e.g. Andy) to use those too.
Which would you advocate?
But we already seem to have decided to use patched repo, no??
Seems to be the consensus.
Would you write up where to pull Linaro's repo from and why its different? Make sure the release engineers are in the loop. Adding fabo.
Thanks,
James
