As I recall, there used to be a repository that lived on purplehat.net
which was said to have been lost in a disk crash.

What is on sourceforge is quite a few years older than that, but the odd
commit did prove useful sometimes for cherry picking for 2.6, even though
the sourceforge repo has very little beyond Linux 2.2. There is a 2.4
branch but it was always too buggy to be viable, and didn't track mainline
beyond 2.4.18.

Which reminds me - I'd like to update the mac68k sites. The sourceforge
material (i.e. downloads) are ancient and buggy and the project docs needs
some updating.

Spare time permitting, I'd like to make available some current kernel
binaries and tools for download (and remove/archive the broken 2.4
downloads), provide instructions for cross-compiling mainline kernels
using a current toolchain, with links to Thorsten's cross-compilers and so
on.

The old material is a bit of an embarrassment, and the omission of current
binaries suggests that the port never worked since 2.2...

Does anyone have any thoughts about a refresh of the mac68k
downloads/docs?
