Hi all,

As I'd not submitted a package/patch to Buildroot before a few days
ago**, I'm asking if there is:

1.   a specific merge window/timeline that patches need to be in by in
order to make it into a pending release?

2.   anything more specific coding requirements than what is listed
here? : http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html#add_packages
[ like checkpatch.pl conformity,  trial build for minimum number of
targets/archs ]

3.  any one single person that I need to get contact (like a "new
packages custodian)?
[at U-Boot for instance they have "custodians" who manage certain
aspects of the git tree]

4.   a need to open a Bug Report for a new package?

thanks, regards,

Dave
