[parisc-linux] merge with 2.4.0-testN?

[Matthew Wilcox]

it's been well over 2 months since we last merged Linus' tree into ours.
i'm thinking about leaving the -test6 patch to mature over the next week
or so, see if there's any cripplingly awful bug reports and, if not,
merge -test6 into our tree.  if there are, -test4 had some good reviews,
i might consider that instead.

i'm going to tentatively set a date as Thursday 16th August for this.
if you've got any big changes outstanding, now would be an excellent
time to commit them before the landscape shifts under our feet.

San Jose, LWE is on until Aug 17th. We will have a RH linux PC, 712, A180
and internet access during the show...so Matt and I might be able to help
some anyway if the HP booth is wonderfully boring. :^)

BTW, should we move to a "linux" or "linux-2.4" repository?
I have no clue what the mechanics are of doing such a move but
this merge might be a good time to do it.

thanks,
grant

Will the port name change from parisc to hppa at this time too?

ie... Will the following directories change?

Documentation/parisc
arch/parisc
arch/parisc64
include/asm-parisc
include/asm-parisc64

Let me know when/where and I'll do what I can to help with the merge.

Thanks,

Ryan

I don't plan to.  Does anyone really really want this to change?

Thanks, I appreciate the offer.

While I don't think renaming anything with 'parisc' in its name will
help anything, I do think that to avoid confusion some symbolic links
should be created.  eg hppa/ -> parisc/

Just to avoid any confusion ... presumably the README.hppa would explain
what is going on.
