There really isn't a kernel team anymore, becides me and a few others, and we all seem strung accross different timezones these days. Here's the answer: - development-sources are clean kernel.org kernels - gentoo-dev-sources are the current 2.6 kernel trees for all arches. There is no cesspool of patches in there, and it is the kernel for the ppc64, amd64, x86, and a few other arches. Making it the sparc kernel too is no big deal. This is needed so that bugs and security fixes that previously have not gotten put into the d-s package get applied across all arches quickly and easily. I am willing and able to help the sparc team (and any other arch) to make the g-d-s package work for them. Is that acceptable? thanks, greg k-h > > So what is the appropriate place?
