Some changes to review process are certainly welcome. I just hope Stefan would have included separate section of the current problems and more details of the goals his proposal tries to address. Even some of the obvious ones are not answered. For example, are there actual plans to bring coreboot trees from coreboot.org and Chromium back in-sync?
Kyösti,
thanks a lot for your input. I will try to provide examples in the future.
To answer your question, yes, there are very concrete plans of syncing up the coreboot.org and Chromium coreboot trees happening right now. This is where part of this is coming from, and I am working on both sides of the story to resolve this.
I am also working on getting Google's internal upstreaming process for coreboot straightened out and making the resources available so that upstreaming happens more timely in the future, and rebasing the chromium tree more against a current upstream version more often. To throw some unconfirmed numbers in here, the current chromium tree is based off of a late 2012 upstream tree (though we have pulled a lot of patches in both directions since then). The ideal would be to move the chromium tree to a new coreboot upstream in an interval of something like 3-6 months.
Stefan
