Linux-2.6.12 code base for linux-mips

Hi ,	

	I would like to know the linux-mips version corresponding to the
linux-2.6.12 kernel taken from kernel.org.

	I am referring to the below site to download the linux-2.6.12 mips
version.
	http://www.longlandclan.hopto.org/~stuartl/mips-linux/sources/

	But I found there are so many files with linux-2.6.12 name so can
you please let me know the name of the official release version
corresponding to linux-2.6.12.

	What is the kernel code base version or date that has been used for
porting linux-2.6.12 from kernel.org onto linux-mips.

Regards,
Sathesh

You might be better off using git from now on. :-)  I provided that
snapshot service so that those who are firewalled-off from CVS & rsync
can still obtain snapshots of the Linux/MIPS kernel.

Since git can (and does) run over both HTTP and RSYNC, my mirror has
somewhat been made redundant.

There's some notes on doing exactly this on the wiki. :-)

Probably the first snapshotted 2.6.12 would be the closest to the
upstream kernel 2.6.12.  But seriously, I'd go for the latest 2.6.12
release, as this will have fixes not present at the previous merge with
kernel.org.

linux-cvs-patches does not allow _any_ kind of postings.

Checkout the linux-2.6.12 tag from the git archive.

Linux-2.6.12 code base for linux-mips

Hi,
 - I would like to know the code base for  linux-2.6.12 (linux_2_6_12 tag)
in the CVS repository is same as the one in the git repository
archive(linux-2.6.12). 

 - I am new to GIT.In order   to checkout linux-2.6.12 tag from git
repository I followed the  commands given in the
http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Git web site


- It is hanging while cloning the repository using the below command  
    # git clone rsync://ftp.linux-mips.org/git/linux.git linux.git
- Then i used http:// instead of rsync:// in the above command and it is
working fine.
 
In the "Status of CVS to GIT conversion " section, there is no information
on linux-2.6.12 tag/branch.If I want to checkout linux-2.6.12 tag from GIT
repository what command  I should use after cloning the git repository.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sathesh

It should be; the tags in the git archive were automatically generated,
not converted fromt he CVS archive.

We told you before - you're behind a firewall and can't use rsync.  Unless
you have an argument with your firewall admin and those are usually a
rather stuborn kind of character when it comes to that kind of changes :)

I certainly won't list each of the hundreds of individual tags on that
page; no point in that.  ANyway, after the clone finished, do:

git-read-tree -m $(cat .git/refs/tags/linux-2.6.12)
git-checkout-index -f -a -u -q

Git developers didn't make that too easy; the git-checkout command doesn't
accept a tag as it's argument, so git-checkout linux-2.6.12 doesn't work.
