What is the state of Power PC support in Linus' kernels? What about in -ac kernels?
I have noticed some recent PPC work in summaries of recent -ac kernels and wonder how intact it is. Are they merges to keep PPC forks from drifting too far? Are they merges to make furture back-ports from kernel.org to PPC forks easier? Are they actually complete in and of themselves but lagging PPC forks? (What about 405 support? I think I see evidence of recent 405 activity in 2.4.8-ac4...)
I would love a short descreiption of the shape of this stuff. What work happens where and how and when it moves elsewhere would be great to understand.
Thanks a bunch,
-kb, the new-at-this Kent who is working on a 405GP right now, but who will possibly be moving to a different architecture soon and doesn't want to be in a PPC-specific ghetto.
P.S. A terse "Use kernel blah-blah." isn't very useful. We have a working kernel already. I am trying to understand what comes from where, where it goes, how often, how completely, etc. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
