repository location (MPC5200b)

Hello all,
I have been following this list for a while now and am interested in getting a version of the latest work in progress Linux kernel with fixes for powerpc.
Yes, I am a kernel newbie, but I am learning! I have an inherited project based on version 2.6.28 that is compiled for an MPC5200b and there are some issues I am interested in fixing (or seeing If they are already fixed) .

I know there are many branches of development, but where can I get the 'best' kernel for my processor?

Thank you in advance.
Max

For latest work in progress kernel look at master branch in linux-next
tree

 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git

The current mainline kernel supports MPC5200b pretty well, you can
use latest stable release, branch "linux-3.8.y" of the stable tree
