Message-ID: <m12Feir-001SweC@bucks> (raw)


	* Embedded PPC (8xx/82xx) Linux kernel development: How it is done?

	- What tools are used to roll in the PPC Linux kernel changes
	  into the repositories?

	      + snapshots

	        ftp://linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu/pub/linuxppc/embedded/mpc8xx-2.2.13.tgz
	        ftp://linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu/pub/linuxppc/embedded/linux-2.3.18.tgz

                There hasn't been munch activity in
	        ftp://linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu/pub/linuxppc/embedded/
		over the last couple of months.

		Dan Malek <dan@netx4.com> talks about "I work in the
		BitKeeper tree, which is supposed to be the official PPC
		tree and one step away from kernel.org."

	        What or where is the "BitKeeper tree"?

	- Where are the repositories located?

	- Are these repositories closed?  Or, can others see what changes
	  are being made?

	- How long does it take for the kernel changes from these
	  repositories to make it into the offical Linux kernel release?

	- Who are the people involved with the embedded PPC Linux kernel
	  changes?

	      + MPC8240
	      + MPC8260

	      Dan Malek <dan@netx4.com> writes, " I have been working on
	      the kernel almost daily for many years now, and there are
	      few others that do the same."

	      Dan Malek <dan@netx4.com> is involved, but who are the
	      others?  What is the division of labor between Dan and the
	      rest?

	      This is what I have figure out so far:

		Dan Malek
		Seasoned PPC Kernel hacker for 8xx and 82xx
		product and software development consultant
		dan@netx4.com

		Cort Dougan
		cort@ppc.kernel.org
		http://www.ppc.kernel.org/

		Grant M. Erickson
		grant@lcse.umn.edu
		PPC Kernel hacker for 4xx

		Wolfgang Denx
		wd@denx.de
		http://www.denx.de/solutions-en.html
		DENX Software Engineering
		Products: LinuxPPC Cross Development Kit (CDK)
		          LinuxPPC for MPC8xx Systems, especially for TQM8xxL Modules

	- Is this a closed community?  Or, can others join the team?

	- If it is an open community, how does one join?  Are there any
	  posted rules?

	- I want to contribute to the process of porting Linux to
	  run on the EST SBC8260 single board computer, but I need to
	  understand how to participate.
