Relationship between bk libuxppc-2.4 and denx linuxppc_2_4_devel
This may have been asked on this list before, but I can't seem to find it in the list archives.
What is the relationship between the linuxppc-2.4 tree from bk, and the anonymous cvs linuxppc_2_4_devel hosted by Denx? The latter *seems* more stable, but I'm hoping to integrate in patches for me JSE board after cleaning up patches, and it's not clear which tree I should work with.

Our linuxppc_2_4_devel CVS tree is a (modified, extended) copy of the BK tree of the same name, which used to be the "official" development tree but has been declared dead a long time ago.

You should work with the official trees, i. e. linuxppc-2.4 or linuxppc-2.5.

Unless I made some mistake in cloning the linuxppc-2.{4,5} trees from ppc.bkbits.net, (which is entirely possible as I'm a BK newbie), there appears to be a fair amount of processor- and platform-specific stuff in the Denx linuxppc_2_4_devel CVS tree which does not appear in the ppc.bkbits.net BK trees (e.g. arch/ppc/5xxx_io/... ).
Is the Denx CVS tree "authoritative" with regard to those extras? Is there any expectation that those bits found only in the Denx CVS tree will eventually find their way into the ppc.bkbits.net tree(s)? (Or some other, more appropriate tree(s)? If so, which?)
Thanks,
Chris

For 2.4? Denx will probably be the "authoritative" tree. For 2.6 I am hopeful that something can be worked out.

Your finding is correct.

No, not at all. It's just what we're doing here at DENX.

I gave up submitting patches - probably my communication skills are inadequate.
