These are very good for distributions. Not all distributions can deal with svn HEAD and few do it well IMO.
What would be the problem with a version "r3065"? I doubt any distributions would have a problem with that.
Yeah, fixed svn rev versions can work like any other versions. I would drop r though, at least Gentoo has a problem with non-numeric versions. (Yes, that sucks.)
but maybe one tarball per svn revision
Would definately be a good thing!
These can be generated using viewvc. I don't want to create another binary graveyard for millions of 0s and 1s ;-)
I am even thinking of getting rid of the tarballs, replacing them by viewvc links. The reason I did not is that viewvc does not honor the +x bit of files in the repo, so the tree migh
Hm - causing a problem for directories, or where?
For the longer term I'd like a config file for flashrom that is all that ever really changes unless a new bus comes along.
ie. describing all the flash chips? I agree.
Not just flash, but also how to reach them. I expect other superios to require different tricks than IT8716, so once we have a few more SPI boards we'll also want to teach flashrom which mainboard uses which superio. (By re-using information from coreboot.) Ideally flashrom would then work out whatever it needs to go through the needed hardware on it's own.
This code might even come back into coreboot - for panic room flashing.
