Personally I am now through the pain barrier with Git, so I'm happy to
use it in preference to CVS from now on. In fact, I'm *almost* at the
point where I prefer it to CVS, though I keep typing "cvs add" by
mistake... :-)

Are we all agreed on that - do we now use Git even when (if?) CVS comes
back on line?

I believe the -beta2 busybox update is still missing in the Git
snapshot, and as per other mails on this list there are still many
packages to migrate from the pre-4.x CVS branch.

I have added a few of the missing source Packages:
   - keyboard
   - hdparm (which was WAY out of date so I upgraded to the latest)
  - this also fixes the failure on hdsupp
   - upnpbridge
   - pcre (also old so I upgraded)
  - this also fixes the failure on kismet

Plenty more to fix though!

Thanks very much.
Now "Active Tickets by Milestone" is in a more sensible order, at least
for my personal view of priorities.

[leaf-devel] Future "Milestones" for Trac

2011-02-06 Thread davidMbrooke
Hi kp,

Please would you add some future "Milestones" to Trac.
There are changes / enhancements I would like to flag up for 4.1 and
right now we have nothing beyond 4.0.1.

Maybe add 4.1 and 4.2 ?

Thanks,

dMb

Hi Ad,

Your messages aren't showing up in leaf-devel for some reason, even
though you seem to specify the right address in the "Cc:" field.

There are people with the capability to push to git, but maybe they
don't have the time or the motivation right now :-)

I see that kp has made a start (haserl and pwcrypt).

Do you have a definitive list of what is missing? I can do a few
Packages but I don't have time to do 20. I am still learning Git (and
writing the Wiki page as I go) which slows things down.

I suspect that Git is also wide open for write access right now, so
others could help with this job if we can co-ordinate the team.

Thanks Mike. I have created a new wiki page for hints and tips on using Git
for LEAF as Appendix 2 in the Developer Guide, direct link is:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/leaf/index.php?title=Bering-uClibc_4.x
_-_Developer_Guide_-_Hints_and_Tips_for_using_Git_SCM

Personally I am new to Git and I plan to spend several hours investigating
it over the weekend. I have already spotted some things that I think could
be improved (see the Discussion page on the wiki) so I suggest the main
developers review the status in a couple of days.
I have no doubt that Git is the right new SCM tool for LEAF but it has some
different concepts from CVS and we may need to refine our approach.
