RFC: strategy for merging the N770 changes

Hi everyone,

I have been thinking about how to get the N770 changes into the main
tree; personally, I would like to see this done before we release 2.4,
even if means delaying the release. By the time N770 is unleashed on the
world 2.4 should be our stable release, and I would like us to be able
to show it of on it; having it in 2.4 from day one seems to make sense
to me. (Others might feel otherwise, and we need to weigh the pros and
cons.)

I think the first necessary step, whatever the timetable, is to get the
port into our CVS. Since the N770 port is based on 2.2.7, a best
starting place would seem to me to be a 2.2.7_n770 branch, and merging
things in that branch. Once it is done, we would have the option of
merging that back into STABLE, and forward-porting into HEAD (although
realistically, merging it back into stable seems uncessary if do this
before 2.4 and meaningless after 2.4). Others might have better
suggestions; CVS is not my niche.

Tomas
