[Buildroot] Ulf, you broke AVR32, why?

[Arnar Mar Sig]

Ulf,

You talk about us AVR32 people breaking packages, not testing our  
changes and demanding that we take our effort at maintaining packages  
and arch support to a separate tree. But still you do all off thous  
things, breaking packages, removing needed arch patches, not testing  
your changes and generally fucking up everything except AT91 support,  
WHY?

In my opinion, Buildroot is a collection of PATCHES to make cross- 
compiling easier, not to create some broken package system that i have  
to download every source and patch myself and patch by hand.

My 10cent in the penis fight.
