Right now, I'm sending massive PowerMac driver updates directly to Linus. Typically, all of this is available from my linuxppc-2.5-benh tree, though I don't really recommend for non-hackers to use that. > I am curious, why do you and Paul not use a system more like Russell's > (changes move into Linus' tree as soon as they are fairly well tested > and he maintains the ARM patches in I'm trying to completely avoid having a "ppc" or "powermac" tree with 2.6, at least once all the "pending" bits from mine have been in Linus. I want to keep as close as Linus tree as I can, not reproduce what I did for 2.4 where I had megabytes of diffs piling up. Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
