Re: [Gumstix-users] Stable Buildroot Revision - Has there been any acion on this??

Hi rob321,

> What revisions do people think are stable?

I guess it depends on what you daughtercards you use. Personally, I
think that the latest release is stable with some caveats:

1 - bluetooth support doesn't work out of the box. Some people have
reported success taking stuff from 1161 and copying it into a recent
buildroot.

2 - net-wifi-microsd support doesn't work out of the box, but there
are some patches:

3 - The robostix and roboaudiostix have some issues with the default
configuration for verdex (now that LCD support is enabled). This is
addressed here:
<http://docswiki.gumstix.com/Robostix_verdex>

That's all that I'm aware of.

> Who should be the person(s) who signs off on the stability?

Right now Craig does. The stable releases exist on sourceforge. The
last stable release for basix/connex is 1161. There hasn't been a
stable release for verdex.

Generally speaking if all of the boards work properly, then it's a
stable release.
