http://www.sinenomine.net/downloads now has available Debian packages of the 2.4.19 kernel with IBM patches 0-6, the timer patch, the kerntypes patch, and Leland Lucius's VMPARMS, upcase, and fix-install patches.
There you will also find 2.4.21 Debian kernel packages (which include the newly Open-Source qeth driver) with IBM patches 0-2, the timer patch, the kerntypes patch, and Leland Lucius's VMPARMS, upcase, and fix-install patches. All of that stuff is GPL. There's also a new version of SWAPGEN EXEC, which functions identically to the last one (i.e., works in FBA and DIAG modes), but thanks to Phil Smith, is much better commented and has much more robust error checking. It's also had an actual Open Source license added to it (the Artistic License). The Debian stuff is in no way to be construed as an official Debian release. As always, no warranty is expressed or implied with these; specifically, the .config file included in the Debian packages, and the set of applied patches, is what *I* use for *my* development machines, and it may or may not be at all appropriate to your site. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. Do not deploy in production without plenty of testing (yes, you can purchase support for all of the above from us if you want; you're also free to use it without doing so, but if it calls the police and phones your mom to tell her you're wearing dirty underpants, don't come crying to us) and understanding the possible risks. Your Mileage May Vary. Do not expose mainframe to open flame. Do not taunt Happy Fun Kernel 2.4.21. Side effects, although rare and experienced by less than 2.9% of all test subjects, may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, impotence, psoriasis, heartbreak, uncontrollable rage, thundering penguinitis, and spontaneous combustion. For external use only. If swallowed, induce vomiting immediately. Adam
