Hi Tony / Geert / Roman,

I wanted to do some m68k hacking again, tried to do a cvs update of my
local tree(s) and found out it is no longer there :-(

I still have several old source trees on my disks (including 2.4 ones)
for which I don't have current diffs against CVS and I have no idea how
to generate them without the CVS repository...

I'm a bit rusty here, I never used git before...

How can I track the current Linux/m68k kernel sources, and how do I
commit things?


Kind regards,

Kars.

I don't know where the new stuff is set up, (or if it is yet) but if  
you need a copy of the old CVS repository I can send it to you.

The quilt series for my current development tree is at:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geert/linux-m68k-patches-2.6/

There are separate series for stable versions, e.g. in
linux-m68k-patches-2.6.27.

How to construct the m68k tree:

  1. Obtain Linus' tree:

	git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

  2. Download the patches

  3. Set up quilt

	cd linux-2.6
	ln -s where_you_downloaded_the_patches patches
	quilt push -a

A real git tree is on my todo-list...
