Which kernel tree

Which kernel tree

[Stephen Williams]

I've got u-boot working on my custom board, so now it's getting
time to build a working kernel for my system-to-be.

I have a PPC405GPr. I'll be writing drivers for the SystemACE
and custom chips on the board, but I might as well do that work
on a kernel that I'll be able to use for a while. So that begs
the question, which kernel tree should I be following?

There's the one at denx, that seems to be 2.4.4 from over
a year ago, or there are the kernels at www.kernel.org,
that may not have the up to date parts, or there's the
bkbits.net bitkeeper tree.

Try linuxppc-2.4 BK tree (ppc.bkbits.net) it should work just fine for
405GPr.

If you have problems with 405 and this tree, please post them to this
list :).

OK, so that means I'm going to have to get accustomed to
bitkeeper. That'll be slightly interesting. (Grr..)

There is also linuxppc_2_4_devel on our CVS server, which is 2.4.24-preX

You can use something like
rsync -az --delete source.mvista.com::linuxppc-2.4 linuxppc-2.4
to download the tree.

Dear Mr. Wolfgang,

But how to make it?I used WinCvs in WIN2000 and CVS
command in REDHAT 7.3 as
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.denx.de:/cvsroot login
but couldn't connect.If I use proxty like
172.12.18.1:8080 which I can login your webpage,how
could I get to linuxppc_2_4_devel?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Sam

I cannot comment on WinCvs (as I've never worked under Windoze),  but
CVS in RH-7.3 will certainly work.

Are you sure that it's not some other configuration on your end which
is preventing CVS from working? Like a firewall blocking the CVS port
(2401) ?

Use CVS. It works.

Do not follow where the path may lead....go instead where there is no
path and leave a trail.

I also cannot use CVS from behind a firewall, but it is not
the fault of CVS.  Since I use CVS only infrequently, I ssh
out from my firewall to a node outside my firewall, run cvs
from there, and sftp the resulting tree back behind my firewall.
For infrequent use, this might be an acceptable setup.

In this type of situation, using cvs over ssh is a better solution.
 Google it.  I think Apache developers have to do this these days.
