Hi!
The CRIS architecture is very much alive and locally we are running 2.6.6.
It is true that I haven't submitted any patches since 2.5.74 or
something like that. It is my intention to send in a patch asap,
hopefully this week.
I will submit 2.6 patches more often in the future. Later this year
we will also add support for a new CRIS subarchitecture.

When grepping the source and even doing cross architecture changes it is
nice to have a ratehr up-to-date version in the main stream kernel.
It would be nice if Axis could at least drop an update of the tree for
each kernel release (provided there are any changes).
This would allow all of us to get a better overview, and in some cases
we may even introduce new stuff / fix errors.
So please start to feed Andrew (or Linus) regularly with updates.

on linux-2.6.6, 'make oldconfig' fails on cris with
scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/cris/Kconfig
arch/cris/Kconfig:158: can't open file "arch/cris/drivers/Kconfig"
make[1]: *** [oldconfig] Error 1
This was reported about a year ago on 2.6.0-test2:
http://mhonarc.axis.se/dev-etrax/msg03456.html
but it seems nothing has been done about it.
Since step 1 of building a linux kernel for cris seems to have
been dead in the water for almost a year with no
action from the port's maintainer, perhaps the port
should be deleted from the main kernel tree.
Or perhaps the maintainer could submit a fix. His choice :-)

If you delete it, there's less chance of someone picking it up as the
new maintainer. It will kill an obvious starting point for someone
wanting to continue the work on it.

The CRIS architecture is stable and supported by Axis Communications
officially in 2.4, but the 2.6 port is work-in-progress, thus you could
expect problems building it from the vanilla kernel source. It works
in-house on 2.6, but perhaps all patches have not trickled out to the
official kernel yet (although they should have I think, so it's good that
you mention stuff like this).
In the meantime, I would recommend using 2.4 if you want to compile a CRIS
kernel.
