Plans for 2.4.19

Plans for 2.4.19

[Robert Schwebel]

Hi, 

I remember having read something about the plans for the 2.4.19 upgrade,
but couldn't find the thread in my archive any more. As the DIL/Net-PC code
currently being in 2.4.19-pre10 is currently broken I'm wondering if it
would be possible to get the stuff from CVS into _this_ version? Marcelo
releases very slowly at the moment, so not doing it does probably mean to
wait another half a year for a working kernel... 

David, what's your current plan? 

Robert

I fed Marcelo most of the latest code for 2.4.19-pre. All that I remembered
was outstanding was the updated flash driver probe stuff and 64-bit 
support. The plan was to do that in 2.4.20-pre1. What's wrong with the DIL/
Net-PC code and can it be fixed without having to update all the CFI code?

I'll look at it later today - yesterday I gave 2.4.19-pre9 a try and it
didn't work. Patching it with current CVS works perfectly.

Uhm, I meant -pre10, not -pre9.
