So how do we accomplish this common tracking branch across new releases of upstream? Or am I misunderstanding Andy's idea -- is he not suggesting we have something which is Linus HEAD plus Android patches? > Should we just shoot for only making Android builds from upstreamed > work (kernel.org and AOSP) and not worry about hardware enablement > unless that enablement can be done in an upstreamable way? If the question is simply that, the answer is of course no -- the Landing Team trees can contain stuff which is not-yet-upstreamable, and we should still use them for Android builds if they can be used for that. But I think you're asking a different question. -- Christian Robottom Reis, Engineering VP Brazil (GMT-3) | [+55] 16 9112 6430 | [+1] 612 216 4935 Linaro.org: Open Source Software for ARM SoCs _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
