Where can I find old bluetooth kernel patches?

Where can I find old bluetooth kernel patches?

[hlidea(注意力集中)]

Hello All,

For some reason, I need the old bluetooth kernel patches for kernel
2.4.20. However, all the patches from
http://www.holtmann.org/linux/kernel are lost. Are there any other
places where I can find these patches? Or could somebody kindly supply
it for me? Thanks in advance.

there is no active support for the 2.4 kernel series anymore.

Hi Marcel,

I suggest you keep the old patches on the Internet. These patches are
valueable especially for some embedded linux system. You know, upgrade
the kernel on embedded system is not easy, so I think you can just
leave the old patches there without any support for them.
Most people will benefit from these old patches.Thanks a lot.

Hi Chris,

we don't top post on this mailing list. Don't do that again since I am
really good at ignoring emails like that.

Actually putting up these patches would slow down the progress. Nobody
should be using a 2.4 kernel anymore. The 2.4 series is now since 5
years in maintenance mode. My tolerance level is currently at 2.6.25
kernel and everything before is just an ancient kernel and you should
not use it. If you do then you are on your own and please don't bother
anybody in the open source community with these kind of silly requests.
Please think about what you are asking from the community. What does the
BlueZ community would get in return for giving you these patches?

Regards

Marcel
