How to get latest vger 2.2 sources???

How to get latest vger 2.2 sources???

[Lou Langholtz]

This has got to be one of the most frequently asked question that still
isn't in a FAQ somewhere I can find:

How does one get the latest 2.2 linux kernel sources from vger or from
cvs.on.openprojects.net or where ever else the best PPC specific sources
are? www.kernel.org kernels seem way off what others report from using
the vger tree.

"cvs -z3 checkout linux" only gets me the 2.3 tree. What's the tag for
the 2.2 tree? I could have sworn someone else just asked this on this
email list or on the linux ppc newsgroup and now I'm kicking myself that
I didn't pay more attention to the answers they got. I can't find them
in any archive either.

Thanks!!!

Lou,

I am the one who just asked how to get linux from on.openprojects.net

To get 2.2, the answer I got was:

start downloading 2.3
then stop it using ctrl-C
cvs update -dP -rlinux_2_2

I have not tried it.

person)

Doesn't `cvs -z3 checkout -rlinux_2_2 linux' work?

Are there patches vanilla-2.[23].x => CVS tree available somewhere ?

I don't know. You can always ask me to generate them.

Unfortunately vger is still at 2.3.18, except for the fbdev stuff, which is at
the 2.3.{21,22} level :-)
