I'm not sure how up-to-date bpo is. I must admit that I definitely lag behind unstable from time to time, but I can try to improve that. > Also, are there any extra marvell-specific patches in your orion repo, > or are the bpo packages configured and patched identically? Some of the packages have patches, but not the kernel. With the kernel, I put everything in unstable first. In other words, the Orion repo and bpo really use the same source code. > Finally, regarding stable vs unstable, personally it doesn't matter > but if there's a difference in gcc versions used, then I guess maybe > the unstable kernels may cause trouble if there is a need to > compile 3rd party kernel modules? Hmm, that's a good point. I guess I need to look into bpo and see if it makes sense to use their kernels.
