Hi ppc folks, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
In an attempt to keep ppc-sources alittle more in line with the rest of |
| 4 |
the ppc community we're going to move ppc-sources to a stable benh tree |
| 5 |
as it offers better support for newer hardware than the other ppc trees |
| 6 |
as well as additional features. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
What does this mean for you? For most people you'll have the same level |
| 9 |
of support that the old ppc-sources kernels have had, for laptop people, |
| 10 |
you'll have some additional features available to you. For people with |
| 11 |
new just released hardware, ppc-sources used to not work for you... With |
| 12 |
this change we hope to make ppc-sources a stable tree for most if not |
| 13 |
all hardware, and leave ppc-sources-dev for the cutting edge kernel |
| 14 |
features. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I've submitted ppc-sources.2.4.22-r1.ebuild to the gentoo cvs. It should |
| 17 |
hit the mirrors within a few hours. It has been tagged as ~ppc, so if |
| 18 |
your interested in trying it out, and already have your keywords set to |
| 19 |
accept ~ppc, emerge rsync, and then emerge -up ppc-sources and you |
| 20 |
should see it. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If you test the kernel please and run into any issues please let me know |
| 23 |
by email, trance@g.o or via irc, I'd need to know what hardware |
| 24 |
your running it on, and any errors that occured. Please keep in mind |
| 25 |
however I'm only interested in kernel errors that occured from a running |
| 26 |
kernel, not I'm having issues getting the kernel built, Those can be |
| 27 |
worked out via #gentoo-ppc, thanks =) |
