linux-mips Vs kernel.org

Hello,

We currently working with the 2.6.12 kernel, and wondering which from 
linux-mips or kernel.org version we should use,
in a more general manner, what are the differences between linux-mips and 
kernel.org kernel source code, is one the
mirror of the other, or is there one that frequently merge with the other 
?

Regards

Florian Delizy

Use the linux-mips.org tree to do any work.

To find out about the differences, just download a kernel.org kernel
and run a 'diff -Nurp' against what you find on linux-mips.org.

Up to now, merges happened every now-and-then, but not on a very
regular basis. However, there's hope for more timely merges since Ralf
is on the way to move the souce base over to GIT, which should ease
further merges...

At this stage the kernel.org tree is quite unusable for MIPS.

As others have already said, I'm about to dump CVS from linux-mips.org.
You can still access the CVS archive, just don't expect any updates to
it anymore.

I have no problem kernel.org GIT with VR41xx.

See RFC 1925, section 2 (3):

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead.
