Hi, Hell, my own automatisms fooled me, my previous message was supposed to be postponed and not to be sent.
In short: I am still evaluating if I will upload a kernel-patch-amd64 package at all, and if I will, what it will contain. I hope my first mail concerning this was not too early in this case. I am successfully testing the amd64.org patch for a while now, but there are more changes in bitkeeper too wich are worth a closer look. And the amd64.org patch is of partially experimental nature, possibly breaking stuff. But, amd64 support in the kernel is still evolving fast, check the changelogs for the last couple of 2.6 releases. Considering the 2.6 release cycles are slowing down, I think it is a good idea to track an amd64 patch - at least in experimental - so users can get bugfixes and new features faster, until upstream full release support is so stable we can happily drop the patch. Besides, this patch will for sure not end the 2.4-hppa way, possibly never being merged upstream - in fact, it contains mainly code wich is intended to be included into the next full linux release. Kind regards Frederik Schueler -- ENOSIG
