Hi All,

Just thought I would ping the list about my current plans for kernel
3.8 in rawhide so people are aware of what's going on.

I'm breaking it down into a couple of phases to make the change less
of a problem (with luck):

1) phase 1 is basically a basic 3.7 -> 3.8 jump and will include the following:
* drop separate imx kernel. Currently doesn't support the previous HW
we supported with the imx kernel. It's now buildable as a unified
kernel
* deal with new kernel config options we need to actually build the config.

2) enable new platforms
* imx and other new SoCs supported in the unified kernel. This
includes sunxi (AllWinner A1x) but it'll likely not be usable

I think you should not bother with sunxi support, so far only some
very very minimal support has landed upstream, see:
http://linux-sunxi.org/Mainlining_Effort

There is no mmc nor nand support yet, so other then the ability to run
from ramdisk there is nothing there really ...

Other then that your plan sounds good :)

Regards,

Hans


p.s.

I'm still working on creating sunxi F-18 images, I'm getting closer and
closer, but I keep hitting kernel issues ...
