I can try and get something together for you. I was not planning on
using 2014.10 at all. But I think that given whats going in, we should
move to it. I do need to get a Fedora 21 Test Compose out this week.
sorry for the slow response, because i was directly copied on the email
it went though an unusual path of my procmail recipes and ended up in a
folder I do not often check. as it gets mostly spam.
because Kconfig support landed in u-boot/master, so if you've already pulled
from there, please re-pull.
2) Since I'm working on u-boot stuff now anyways I'll try to take a shot
at getting the necessary sunxi changes in place for things to just work
with Fedora myself. I'll keep you posted on this.
Regards,
Hans
