As a company, we are most likely shooting ourselves in the foot by not having a point of coordination with the Linux Foundation and key people like you, Greg and other participants in the stable kernel.What does the LF have to do with this? We are here, on the mailing lists, working with everyone. Just test the -rc releases we make and let us know if they work or not for you, it's not a lot of "coordination" needed at all. Otherwise, if no one is saying that they are going to need these for 6 years and are willing to use it in their project (i.e. and test it), there's no need for us to maintain it for that long, right?Greg, please remember I expressed I really need them for slightly more than 3 years (say 3.5-4) :-) I'm fine with helping a bit more as time permits if this saves me from having to take over these kernels after you, like in the past, but I cannot engage on the regularity of my availability.
Ok, great! That's one person/company saying they can help out (along with what CIP has been stating.) What about others? Broadcom started this conversation, odd that they don't seem to want to help out :) thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
