seems fine to me.
Thanks.
I just wanted to push the patches and noted that there haven't been any
changes to the 5 branch of libbsd since the release. But there have been
some fixes on the 5-freebsd-12 branch. Did I miss something and the 5
branch shouldn't be updated with fixes? Or have the fixes just not been
applied to 5?
I don't use libbsd enough to remember what is the agreed-upon protocol
for its branches. I recall there is some confusing parts about how
some branches track freebsd's head, while others track some freebsd
branches. I guess, when we release a version of rtems, we need to
freeze on a commit/point of freebsd?
Basically there is the master (or 5) branch which tracks FreeBSD master
and the *-freebsd-12 branch which tracks the FreeBSD stable release. I
would suggest everyone who want's to use libbsd in a productive
environment to use the *-freebsd-12.
But I'm not sure what our post-release-policy for the branches is. From
the current commits on the branches it seems to be: Don't touch 5 and
only fix stuff on 5-freebsd-12. But I'm still not sure.
If we don't have a policy, then we should define one. My inclination
here is that we should either abandon the 5/ tracking the upstream
master after a release. Possibly, we should name the recommended
version to use with rtems5 as 5/ though, to make life a bit more
consistent across our repos.
I would delete the "5" branch. It makes no sense to track the FreeBSD
head on an RTEMS release branch.
