I have once again allowed myself to get buried in dayjob, but this one only lasts until the end of the month and _then_ I plan to get http://landley.net/qemu caught up to the present. I'm the meantime, I'm still trying to extend my FWL scripts to create a cross compiler and bootable filesystem for every target qemu supports. Mips regressed in 2.6.25 because they yanked out the specific qemu target (http://www.kernel.org/hg/index.cgi/linux-2.6/rev/79936) so I'm migrating the sucker to use a malta kernel .config, and then I can do a 0.4.0 release with the distcc trick working out of the box. (QEMU remains a _marvelous_ toy for doing embedded development, to the point it's now kind of hard for me to take seriously a platform that doesn't have a decent emulator I can run on my laptop.) > -mike Rob -- "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code." - Ken Thompson.
