Comment 8 for bug 671027

for u-boot it would be desirable to sync up with upstream, note that we nowadays use the same source package for all u-boot's and it would be nice to have the efika support in the same source tree instead of getting another source package into the archive, please talk to linaro (specifically jcrigby) to get your patches against the recent upstream tree included.

if your setup is always ext2 (dunno how you got that to behave stable, we have seen issues with that in the past (mainly boot speed but also stability issues)) then marcins patch is fine and we can include it in natty.

vfat u-boot support in flash-kernel is already there for plenty of other boards though, it would not have to be hacked (though we might move away from using a filesystem at all for the boot stuff and just go with a raw partition, since that allows to use the std u-boot environment settings without boot.scr (i.e. saveenv would work there))

also note that we sync flash-kernel from debian, i assume they would like to have support for the efika too so it might be desirable to just get the patch in their tree, ubuntu will just get it automagically then.
