Hi Linus,
I'm one of the folks that works on the PowerPC portion of the kernel. I've noticed for some time that what's available at kernel.org and what's being worked on by those of us who maintain our little portion of the PowerPC tree is more and more out of sync. How it's got there etc etc etc at this stage isn't important. First how to fix it and how to make sure it doesn't happen again does concern me.
Currently the diff between test13-preX and the master fsmlabs.com ppc tree is about 450k. Is the right thing to start with that patch get that into the test13-preX series?
I would REALLY appreciate it if this could be made to happen. I've got a whole boatload of RS/6000 (aka pSeries) hardware that will be starting to work once this patch is in. It's truely a shame to have to explain to people that kernel.org *SHOULD* be the place to get a good kernel but given that things are out of sync to have to point them somewhere else.
Regards,
Tom
