Maybe not call it 4.0alpha1 but only 4.0. Just as with previous version numbers it will not change anytime soon and having alpha in the name doesn't sound too encouraging.
Ok, done it this way.
Great, thanks!
Also: Should we change all v2 strings in code and wiki to read v4 afterwards? Especially the supported boards table should probably say "v4" I think, to avoid further confusion of why v3 is a higher version number but everybody works on v2.
I think we should just remove the version number from as many pages as possible...
Yep, sounds good.
Updates to the wiki should rather reflect CBFS and Kconfig for all the build tutorials. They are quite out of date since a few revisions (many even still suggest to cat vgabios.bin coreboot.rom > coreboot-with-vga.rom, which doesn't work since quite a while)...
Yep, I think we should remove all local build instructions _unless_ there are some specific board-dependent hacks or workarounds that are required. Those should be mentioned in some "Installation hints" section or something like that.
Do you have a good hint for a build tutorial that works as a base for a unified build tutorial? Or could you possibly work on such a tutorial?
I updated the generic
http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO
a bit yesterday, I think it's more or less functional and complete now. There's no point in explaining in-depth each of the options in menuconfig, that's what the help texts and
http://www.coreboot.org/Coreboot_Options
are used for.
With Kconfig being available everywhere, we should make sure people recognize how simple it became to build coreboot
Indeed! Anybody wants to write a short announcement, both to the lists (coreboot and coreboot-announce) and also in the wiki News section? This deserves some more exposure, IMHO. Maybe it will even hit the press.
Uwe.
