I hate to rain on your parade, but for a platform that has so many companies paying people full time to maintain under Linux having it take this long is a big diasppointment for me :(
I do sparc64 as a hobby in my spare time, as a single individual, and it has been working daily throughout the entire 2.4.x and 2.5.x series.
The fact that there are still "external patches for performance" is even more disheartening.
My tree never lags Linus's by more than 24 or 48 hours, unless one of us is on vacation and not near computers. And if I can do this in my spare time, it should be doable by people getting paid full time to maintain the ia64 port, don't you think? 8-) - 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/
