Please note that I no longer maintain the quilt series file. I'm using git only now.
I was wondering if that wasn't true.
For 2.6.28, there's a separate branch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git;a=shortlog;h=m68k-v2.6.28 Hmm, I've just noticed this is Linus' v2.6.28 with only a few new m68k patches applied, while I think I intended it to be the master (m68k) branch just after I merged it with v2.6.28, with newer critical patches applied when needed. Oh well...
So what do you recommend for 2.6.28? I'd like to get a functional debian kernel in the meantime. Should I start with the quilt patches?
But even if it was what I had intended, you'd still have to use `git cherry' to find the m68k-specific commits and import them into Debian. So I should have all changes nicely rebased (and reordered/squashed) against Linus' latest tree, so you can easily export them. This would also help in keeping track what needs to be submitted upstream.
That sounds like a whole new world of workflow to me. So I'll need your 2.6.x, linus's 2.6.x, and debian svn to figure out which patches need applying? Thanks, Stephen -- Stephen R. Marenka If life's not fun, you're not doing it right! <stephen@xxxxxxxxxxx>
