[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Hello All!

This two-patch series adds some cosmetics to the legacy menu.

The first patch displays the removal date in the menuconfig, to show
the user how old the legacy options he's using are.

The second patch adds to the top-level comment, that legacy options
will be removed at some point in the future, and that non-updated
.config files may fail to build, or run, in unpredictable ways.

If we do not intend to remove legacy options, let's just drop patch #2,
of course.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Show the user how old the legacy options are, as a
subtle suggestion for him to update mopre often. ;-)

I think we do, question is how soon? 6 months, 1 year?

They are not very expensive, so I suggest we keep them for 1 year.

Committed series, thanks.

  I would keep them much longer, at least three years. Most distros have 
a 3 year or more 'stable' branch, so anything inexpensive that we can do 
to approximate that is good I think.

Hello All!

Here are a few versions bumps:
  - rpi-firmware, for a few fixes
  - rpi_defconfig, for a new kernel with some fixes and enhancements
  - tvheadend, for a few libav-related fixes

And a new package, w_scan, to scan for DVB channels without a pre-tuned
config file (the other dvb-apps scan utils require a pre-tuned config
file).

Yann E. MORIN

[Buildroot] [pull request] Pull request for branch yem-misc-updates

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Hello All!

Here are a few version bumps related to the Raspberry Pi:
  - rpi_defconfig: bump kernel (many fixes, improvements)
  - linux-firmware: bump (new firmware files for WiFi dongles)
  - rpi-firmware: bump (new codecs, mostly)
  - rpi-firmware: select firmware(s) to install

Also, promote genext2fs as a host-package, too, like we have
for other filesystem generators.


Notes only slightly related to this series:

For the Linux kernel for the RPi, there are a few branches available in
the raspbberypi repository:
  - rpi-3.6.y: that branch seems stable, and I just bump to the latest
               cset in that branch
  - rpi-3.8.y: I've expereienced many MMC errors using that branch
  - rpi-3.9.y: ditto, many MMC errors

However, with a RAM-based rootfs (eg. initramfs) or a network rootfs
(eg. NFS), it might be possible to reliably use those two last branches,
as long as the SDcard is not used.

Booting one of those two branches with the rpi-firmware currently packaged
in Buildroot fails, so it seems we first need to update rpi-firmware before
switching to rpi-3.{8,9}.y.

I'll report back on any improvement in this area.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN
