Define the process for the new Linux Linaro tree (maintenance, workflow)
Define and document the process for the new Linux Linaro tree, describing the maintainance workflow and how it should be used by the other groups.
Work Scope:
- Discuss with the release manager and LT leads a proper way to have the new linux-linaro tree in place
- Create a plan to pull/merge the external topics branches into the tree
- Define a way to track and maintain the kernel configs and other artifacts, such as the device tree files
- Identify the process of enabling and supporting a new build flavour at linux-linaro (e.g new board)
- Describe the release process, and how people would be able to check the tree content and topic branches integrated at it
- Describe the workflow in cases of conflicts and bugs, and the requirements the branches should meet
- Identify how the android patches will be maintained with the Android team, and if it can be part of the tree or if should be maintained separetely
