Hi!
That's because you still don't get how we do development. The last thing
we want is full-scale rewrites. Submit patches to fix things based on
whatever you want but do it incremental.
We have got almost finished and working stack. Everything we need to do
is:
1. identify issues;
2. fix the issues; some of them will need broader discussion;
3. split it into several (potentially a lot of) reviewable patches;
4. clean up the drivers.
I'm in phase 2 now (no interesting results yet). I don't think it is
No, it does not work like that. You don't get nice, reviewable,
mergeable patches by developing code independently for 3 years or so
then attempting merge.
If devicescape code is better than mainline, merge it _now_. If it is
not, drop it and start from mainline code.
Merge now even if it breaks the current tree? I for one would certainly
rather he finish his work on it and get it more polished. Reviewing and
testing something that actually works would be a lot more fun...
