Hi folks,

Is any chance to apply the latest POM to kernel 2.6?

Thanks in advance

Not all of it. Generally some pom patches will:
- not apply, if they are not for this kernel, or they are already in 2.6
  just get the latest 2.6 for most up2date netfilter code.
- apply cleanly, if they are just as clean for 2.6 as for 2.4
- apply with minor rejects about configure.help files:
  Mainly the patches that introduce new targets/matches add their code
  and add help messages to Configure. 2.6 does not have Configure, instead
  it has Kconfig. So applying things like ipv4optsstrip will apply cleanly
  but you won't get the help message.

yes, I need to write the 2.6 version of the patch-o-matic 'runme' script
first.  Maybe I'll pick this up in the next couple of days.

(Rusty, who's certainly not reading this mail, has offered to work on
the testsuite if I rewrite patch-o-matic runme.  So there's quite some
motivation behind doing the pom-runme rewrite [in perl!])
