(AFAIK, While I appreciate the work you do on the remix I really don't think this attitude is pleasant or appropriate. Our "lip service" has got automated distro support in u-boot, a multiplatform kernel and the exceptional support of 15K+ packages in the userspace that your remix stands on top of! I suppose it's very easy to forget that as you add the few packages to make the remix work. > there is still no support for bootable overlay support if you chain-load > upstream uboot and if kernel support is based on mainline upstream plus > the bcm2836 patches Eric Anholt submitted to the linux-arm mailing list > last month, saying you support the Pi2B but only using one CPU core of > it and not the 4 cores the hardware provides is going to result in > someone needing to don the flame-proof overalls!) Cute. Given that I've not actually publicly mentioned you've made a lot of assumptions and made accusations out of completely unfounded details. I'm well aware of Eric's patch you mention. You clearly aren't aware of the other patches that enable all cores and provide DRM interfaces to enable the mesa GPU drivers that are already in Fedora. You are correct in that the support won't be 100% the same as your remix. For example we can not and won't ship the closed source user space X drivers in mainline Fedora. Thankfully we shouldn't need to for F-23. I can only suppose your mention of " bootable overlay support" refers to support for HATs, please provide details if that is not the case. There's a lot of things being looked at. Upstream does have support as of 4.0 for overlays. There's still some bits that are still being nailed down but they do work. Either way, we might end up being "not quite as good" as your remix according to your opinion. That is your opinion, you're making that without even seeing what I have. It doesn't necessitate that attitude. Peter _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
