Hi,

as you might have noticed, the end of the merge window has come, but actually no merging took place at all. I apologize to to everybody for being so unresponsive in the last few weeks. I had to learn that it was a bad idea to open a merge window in a time where many companies have the end of their fiscal year and need to get out last minute orders very, very urgently. [Seems the end of the year is always a big surprise to many of them.]

I hope to find a few silent nights to get some real work done in the following weeks, but it seems necessary to me to extend the merge window to give everybody a real chance to stay in sync.

If there are no serious protests I suggest to keep this merge window open until January 10, 2008.

What do you think?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Nothing like a hard deadline to bring clarity to the meaning of life.

ACK! This is Open Source, we don't live by no stinkin' schedules, code is released when it is ready (or when Wolfgang is ready, or early and often, or something ;-).

Fine with me. Please feel free to ignore the merge request I sent earlier; now that the merge window has been extended, I want to add NGW100 board support as well (after the CFI updates have been merged.)

Or just pull it and I'll send you another request when I get back to work in january. I'll notice if you did so when I rebase my tree.
