So if we want u-boot release-candidates (-rc) , faster ports-upgrades or = add own features, upstream-patches: we have to compile them ourselves.=20= That=E2=80=99s why I upload them sometimes to somewhere for some = reason(testing, patches, whatever). Fortunately u-boot is not as much = error-prone as the firmware so uploads of u-boot - rc can be more seen = as feature. As an example it would be possible to apply patches to : > sysutils/u-boot-rpi-arm64 > sysutils/u-boot-rpi3 > sysutils/u-boot-rpi4 But the maintainers then always have look if patches made it upstream = and then remove/change=20 them again for every single port with the next release=E2=80=A6 = understandable why they would not like that :-) =E2=80=A6.while on the = other hand it=E2=80=99s not so uncommon to apply patches before they = make it upstream in u-boot. So self-compiling makes life a bit easier. K.
