Hi kbuild team,
What is the status of kbuild with respect to getting into the kernel proper ? Is it going to get into the linus kernel source tree ?? The reason I ask is that I require a kernel build system for the 2.4 kernel on a embedded PowerPC architecture. It seems that only the i386 is being actively maintained. I did do some work in porting the kbuild-2.5-1.12 to 2.4.18-pre8 some time ago. It worked but did not work well with my Configuration Management System (Aegis). Aparently kbuild-2.5-3.0 onwards should work with Aegis but I don't really have to time to report everything from scratch again. I can probably generate patches for the work I've done for the embedded boards if anyone is interested ? Unfortunately these patches would not be against the vanilla kernel sources, but against the linuxppc kernel tree (linuxppc_2_4_devel to be procise). So does anyone know if kbuild-2.5 is likely to become mainstream in the near future ? If so, is it going to be backported to 2.4 for all architectures ? If not, is there anything in the vanilla kernel that will build from a a readonly repository ? I hope kbuild-2.5 does have a future because so much hard work has gone into it. It would be a shame to see all the effort wasted. Many thanks, Brendan Simon. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
