Re: [Ltib] linux kernel tarball versions

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Jurgen,

There's no trial and error, unless there a reference from a .spec file,
then it doesn't (officially) exist in LTIB.

To tell if something is referenced, run ./ltib -m config and look at the
available kernels.  If it's not there, it will need to be added.

For this Freescale platform, it's work asking what they have in their
latest BSPs and encourage them to push out what they have to the public
LTIB project.

Regards, Stuart
