Actually ecos-patches is right.
One more dumb question - what is the correct way to send the code
to this list ? I prefer the tar approach because that way I don't
have to remember the correct options to diff (and the code itself
isn't in the CVS repository yet anyway).
4. The source files contain the standard eCos header which I lifted
from the Intel 82559 driver, even though the copyright has not
yet been officially assigned to RedHat. My boss has agreed to
OK the copyright transfer, so this should only be a matter of
getting the paperwork done (hopefully sometime this week).
Good!
Unfortunately my boss doesn't share my sense of urgency and has gone
on vacation, so it will take somewhat longer to get a valid
signature 8^(
5. Finally, the code most likely does not adher to the eCos coding
standard alluded to in the FAQ (since I couldn't find it).
"By example" ;-). Unfortunately the coding standards are in a Red Hat
confidential document(!). I believe in future we will be looking at GNU
coding standards for new code instead of the current established
practice. Certainly no code written to GNU coding standards will be
turned away.
