Hello,
I sent a few patches about ten days ago that add some features (like a
GPIO driver for i.MX that is based on the RTEMS i.MX GPIO driver that I
also posted). I would like to push them soon.
Normally I would have pushed them to master and 5-freebsd-12. But the
later one is now a release branch and shouldn't get new features. Would
that be a good time to create a 6-freebsd-12 branch?
I would let Sebastian or Chris decide. Do we anticipate having a
paired release of RTEMS-6 with FreeBSD-12? (Probably so, since we try
to reduce the release cycle time.)
FreeBSD 12 is already released. A FreeBSD 13 release is planned in March
2021.
If not: Would it rather be a 6-freebsd-stable branch? With that name we
can update it to 13 as soon as FreeBSD makes that jump.
An earlier version of libbsd with just a master branch tracked a stable
FreeBSD release branch (I think it was 8, but it doesn't matter). It was
very hard to synchronize later with the FreeBSD master for the next
release. This is why we have now this FreeBSD 12 tracking branch. This
branch is not intended to be updated to the next release branch of
FreeBSD. The branch name should indicate which FreeBSD branch we track.
