MORIN @ 2012-08-23 18:15 UTC (permalink / raw) To: devicetree-discuss-uLR06cmDAlY/bJ5BZ2RsiQ Hello All! Following advice from Jon Loeliger, I would suggest that a new release of DTC be tagged and packaged. It is important for some projects to rely on a released version, rather than use a random cset from the repository. Comes to mind, the automated build-systems, such as buildroot. Of course, I can help, if need be! ;-) Are there any others who think that a release would make sense? Thank you! Regards, Yann E.

This has been a bit of a perrenial problem. dtc development has been sufficiently gradual that there haven't been many obvious points for making new releases. dtc developers (i.e. Jon and my, mostly) don't feel much pain from the lack of releases, since the git snapshots generally work well (thanks to limited scope and a good testsuite). I wonder if we should move to a model of just making a release every 3 or 6 months from whatever happens to be in the tree at the time (barring obvious known breakage, of course). -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.

I'll apply a couple 3 outstanding patches (from Kim Phillips) and get around to tagging a new release. If you, or anyone else have patches or functionality you want in this release, please post those patches now. jdl ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I'd love to see a new release. This would for example allow the U-Boot project to say "dtc vXXX is required to build the DT files contained in U-Boot", which might make agreeing on allowing the use of new dtc features in U-Boot easier. While this could simply be done by referring to a specific git commit ID, release versions or tags probably carry more weight. Tagging a release might also act as a specific trigger for distros to pick up and carry the new version. Does it make sense to simply tag the current git HEAD as v1.4? If so, can we do this? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
