Alexander,

How much testing did you give to this version bump? A libtool version
bump is a very sensitive operation, as host-libtool is used to
autoreconfigure many packages in Buildroot. Therefore, this patch needs
a good amount of testing before being committed (ideally testing that
all packages having <foo>_AUTORECONF = YES still build).

Thanks,

Thomas

  Can't we rely on the autobuilders to do that?

  That said, I wouldn't do this for 2012.11 anymore...

Sure, we'll certainly rely on the autobuilders for a complete testing.
But I wanted to know if it had been tested again 2 packages or 20-40
packages, which makes quite a bit of difference :)

For sure, it should not be part of 2012.11, we already have enough
issues to fix.

Hello,

did you ever think about inventing a kind of "testing" branch with a
seperate autobuilder running on? That could keep major build problems
away from the master branch.

Just my 2 cents

Also i can share own .config

Yes, this has been discussed during the Developers Meeting, at least
for the "next" branch that gets created once -rc1 is out, to accumulate
patches for the next release.

  Actually it does make sense to have it in general.  We could allow more committers
on that branch, and Peter could cherry-pick from it, which could save him a few
seconds per patch.  And it could make master slightly more stable, because only
patches that don't kill the autobuilders would get cherry-picked.

  Maybe something to discuss in February.

  Arnout
