[Buildroot] Microblaze maintenance in Buildroot

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello all,

You're receiving this e-mail because you've at one point or another
expressed interest in the Microblaze support in Buildroot.

We have a number of Microblaze related failures in the autobuilders,
but for the moment, only Spenser is receiving each day the
notifications of Microblaze failures, and he has not been very active
lately in terms of Buildroot contribution.

Would any (or several) of you be willing to receive these notifications
(one e-mail per day) and provide patches to fix Microblaze related
problems?

Generally, I'm also interested in having a group of people take care of
the Microblaze architecture in Buildroot. There are a few outstanding
patches initially posted by Spenser in January (to update
gcc/binutils/gdb, etc.) that received some comments, but Spenser never
got back with updated versions of those patches.

Anybody interested?

Thanks,

Thomas

Very sorry about this.  I am currently overloaded with other
responsibilities.  Hopefully, someone else can pick this up.

Thanks,
Spenser

No problem at all. The intention of my e-mail was not in any way to
blame anyone for not doing some work: we all know that most of the
Buildroot contribution is done on a volunteer-basis.

However, it is part of handling a volunteer-driver project to make sure
that features get maintained/supported even if some of the volunteers
are not available.

Thanks! :-)
