Some patches were not tagged at all, are these all patches which are upstreamable or Ubuntu specific or something else?
By tagged, you mean I did not have a note for them? Usually that just means I had nothing interesting to say about them.
Yes
We used upstreamablilty as part of the fitness criteria for Linaro. The patches tagged with note [1] are patches that are not themselves upstreamable, and so perhaps not fit for Linaro, but which it might be interesting to reimplement in an upstreamable way, and apply that to Linaro. Perhaps the patch could be made conditional on a configure option, or some such thing.
A lot of patches don't have the '[1]' note but have no comment on why they wouldn't be upstreamable or can't be included in Linaro. I was wondering if they were all Ubuntu specific patches. Perhaps they are patches which Linaro doesn't care about but might or might not go upstream as pushed by Ubuntu, is that a fair description?
