kernel sources

[Ira K Weiny]

Where is the proper place to get the kernel source?

I have both 2.2.12 and 2.3.16 from kernel.org but neither seem to be in sync
with the other developers on this list.  (I had to hand patch the PCI changes
submitted. And the 2.3.16 will not even build due to a missing header?)

I know 2.3.16 is a development snapshot and I can't complain about that.  I
have seen many posts for the "vger" trees and the only web/ftp site I have
found was for Sparc and only has 2.1 version kernels?

What am I missing?

Look at http://www.ppc.kernel.org/homepage.html#kernel
There is the link to anonymous cvs access to the vger tree.
The link to Paul Mackerras' site on that page doesn't work, but if you
browse the list archive  of the last week or so, you'll find this, too.

Re: Problem compiling egcs

[Martin Costabel]

Just to set the record straight:

This problem is now solved. It came from a kernel header file
include/asm-ppc/ptrace.h which, in the vger version 2.3.3 of the last 2
weeks, contained the definition
   #define REG unsigned long
It has been fixed yesterday. Thanks, Cort.

Kernel sources

[Jerry Quinn]

I'm a little confused about what the correct kernel sources are for
linuxppc.

There are the main sources from Linus at kernel.org mirrored
everywhere.  There is the vger CVS tree.  And there are sources at
ftp.linuxppc.org for several kernels. Can someone please fill me in on
how things are operating?

Thanks,
