4xx ports

Hi there,

Several people seem to think I was after advice on a port to use or asking for help doing one etc.

For the record I am not in this current thread of conversation asking for those things but I am trying to find out how we can get the stock official kernel distributed by kernel.org to reflect some of the changes which have been made.

Post patches versus the BK linux-2.4 tree here so they can be discussed. If they are suitable for merging upstream (Paul is happy) then they will be moved into the for-marcelo-ppc tree. This is a slow process unless the changes are straightforward bug fixes or cleanups.

Merging patches into linuxppc-2.4 is much quicker and allows a wider audience to test significant changes to help determine if they are suitable to go upstream. Stuff will get merged from linuxppc-2.4 upstream over time.

Hey, if Jon wants to help merge stuff from linuxppc-2.4 upstream, don't discourage him! :-)

But it's true, some of the stuff Jon's interested might still be stuck in linuxppc_2_4_devel, and need merging into linuxppc-2.4 (hope I got those names right), and maybe he should do that first.

Give me my marching orders and I will find some time to help - basically I take my work home with me anyway so...

So assume I know the Linux ppc stuff but might not know which bits are in which tree as I tend to be using the stock kernel.

The patches I have produced on work time will surface once they are finished and a system begins to ship but I can work on the other linuxppc stuff without any problems so am in a "youthfull optimism" kind of way wanting to help.
