I went through most of our FC6 patches, and for each of them, checked whether they would still be needed in rawhide, re-based them, and submitted them to the upstream project (for non-packaging related patches) and/or to RH bugzilla. All RH BZs have been linked to the ARM tracker bug, which is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245418 The following patches are no longer needed for current rawhide: NetworkManager-0.6.4-5.fc6 apr-1.2.7-10 cdrtools-2.01-10 compat-db-4.2.52-5.1 kdesdk-3.5.6-0.1.fc6 libdrm-2.3.0-1.fc6 libgcrypt-1.2.3-1 liboil-0.3.8-2.1 mesa-6.5.1-9.fc6 w3m-0.5.1-15.fc6 xorg-x11-drivers-7.1-3 xorg-x11-drv-acecad-1.1.0-2.1 xorg-x11-drv-aiptek-1.0.1-2 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-1.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-calcomp-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-cirrus-1.1.0-2.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-citron-2.2.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-digitaledge-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-dmc-1.1.0-2 xorg-x11-drv-dummy-0.2.0-2.1 xorg-x11-drv-dynapro-1.1.0-2 xorg-x11-drv-elo2300-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-elographics-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-evdev-1.1.2-2.1 xorg-x11-drv-fbdev-0.3.0-2 xorg-x11-drv-fpit-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-glint-1.1.1-4.1 xorg-x11-drv-hyperpen-1.1.0-2 xorg-x11-drv-jamstudio-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-joystick-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-keyboard-1.1.0-2.1 xorg-x11-drv-magellan-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-magictouch-1.0.0.5-2.1 xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.5-2.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-microtouch-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-mouse-1.2.1-1.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-mutouch-1.1.0-2 xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.2.0-4.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-palmax-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-penmount-1.1.0-2.1 xorg-x11-drv-spaceorb-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-summa-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-tdfx-1.3.0-2.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-tseng-1.1.0-3.1 xorg-x11-drv-ur98-1.1.0-1.1 xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.2.1-4 xorg-x11-drv-vga-4.1.0-2.1 xorg-x11-drv-void-1.1.0-3.1 xorg-x11-drv-voodoo-1.1.0-3.1 xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.1-9.fc6 These patches were rebased, submitted to bugzilla, and merged: redhat-rpm-config-8.0.45-9.fc6 #243523 These patches were merged without bugzilla entry: anaconda-11.1.1.3-1 applied xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-47.8.fc6 applied yum-3.0.6-1.fc6 applied These patches were rebased, submitted to bugzilla, and have not yet been merged: SDL-1.2.11-1.fc6 #245411 attr-2.4.32-1.1 #245415 authd-1.4.3-9 #245436 binutils-2.17.50.0.6-2.fc6 #243516 db4-4.3.29-9.fc6 #245416 gmp-4.1.4-9.fc6 #245456 g-wrap-1.9.6-7.1 #245461 openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.fc6 #245417 pcmciautils-014-5 #245441 pm-utils-0.19-3 #245463 smartmontools-5.37-1.1.fc6 #245442 star-1.5a75-1 #245465 subversion-1.4.3-2.fc6 #245467 These patches have been rebased and submitted upstream (or had previously been submitted upstream), applied upstream, and will be automatically picked up when the corresponding Fedora package will be rebased to a newer upstream version: e2fsprogs-1.39-7.fc6 http://thunk.org/hg/e2fsprogs/?rev/d22a0a6fcd7e ekiga-2.0.5-3.fc6 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ekiga-devel-list/2007-June/msg00024.html rpm-4.4.2-33.fc6 https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/rpm-maint/2007-June/000400.html These patches have been submitted upstream but are not merged yet: util-linux-2.13-0.46.fc6 These patches disable java/mono bindings (as we don't have gcj nor mono at this time.)
