a. Yocto release branch: dylan, dora. the common changes for all SDKs 
should be submitted against this branch and cherry-picked to SDK specific 
branches. The changes should be upstreamed synchronously.
b. SDK specific branch: dylan-sdk1.5, dylan-t1_t2, etc. The SDK specific 
change should be submitted against SDK branch, when SDK is formally released, 
the changes will be upstreamed.



Hi Zhenhua,

Any plans to create a repo for meta-fsl-networking on git.yoctoproject 
for Power / QorIQ developers?


It would be good for yocto users, such as myself, to be able to build 
something incremental between the SDK releases using updated / patched 
recipes pulled from the yocto repos, which should include 
meta-fsl-networking.


Say I wanted to propose a patch to a recipe like fsl-image-full, which 
is in meta-fsl-networking, how would I go about it?


Last February (2013), you proposed an FSL Yocto layers reorg that merged 
layerscape/ARM with Power for QorIQ.  I imagine you're getting close to 
having something internally.  Can you please share the vision with us 
along with whether it will be public on the yocto project (as opposed to 
kept under wraps with incremental SDK releases)?


Thank you,

Bob

[yocto] Yocto branches policy for concurrent SDK releases

2013-11-22 Thread Zhenhua Luo
Hi all,

Currently concurrent SDKs are on-going(e.g. SDK 1.5, T1040/T2080, LS1, etc), 
the same Yocto branch is used for multiple releases, there is conflict of Yocto 
recipes for different SDKs.

To resolve above issue, following branch mechanism will be used:

1. For those layers without conflict(poky, meta-oe, meta-virtualization and 
layers reused from community), same branch will be used and no extra branches 
need to be created, change for those layer should be upstreamed synchronously. 

2. For those layers with conflict, the branch specific to SDK are created, 
currently meta-fsl-ppc and meta-fsl-networking have conflict for different 
SDKs. Following branches will co-exist for such layers. 
   a. Yocto release branch: dylan, dora. the common changes for all SDKs should 
be submitted against this branch and cherry-picked to SDK specific branches. 
The changes should be upstreamed synchronously. 
   b. SDK specific branch: dylan-sdk1.5, dylan-t1_t2, etc. The SDK specific 
change should be submitted against SDK branch, when SDK is formally released, 
the changes will be upstreamed.
