Re: Patches not getting into the tree?

Hi Jifl

I understand the problem, and if i was not traveling around alaska i
would help out. 
Anyway, from a "marketing perspective", a constant trickle of patches
as apposed to none and then a flood, looks better. At the moment it
looks like eCos development is dead. Even an explanation to the delay
on ecos-patches may help.

If you are continuing with the RH copywrite assignemt i guess my
ftpclient patch is ok to go straight in. How does it normaly work for
other open source code? I thought that so long as the copywrite owner
was clearly stated in each file, it was not a problem, unless you
wanted to change the licence. Then you need to contact each person and
get the OK. Isn't that how Mozila did it?

I intend to work on the backlog a bit. As well as being suckered into
returning to Red Hat for my notice, my spare eCos time has been devoted to
some book reviewing that's had a hard time limit on it. There's temporarily
a hiatus, so I'll see what I can do.

For some of the outstanding patches though, we'll come back to copyright
assignment requirements, and we don't have a good story on that yet. We'll
have to go with RH assignments for now.

[Andrew Lunn]

has not made it in yet. Is mailing to ecos-patches enough or do we need
to do more?
