Stuart -

I've uploaded a small change that I'm calling rc5.  This builds a more
recent kernel with RPi patches obtained from
http://github.com/raspberrypi/linux than the one I had been using.

I have not modified the core code to get a tarball or RPM from an arbitrary
URL yet as I'm not sure that's the direction you want to go.

If you are still planning on merging my changes into the repository this
weekend, I would be fine with you adding a README.RPI file directing the
users to download the toolchain from
https://github.com/downloads/midnightyell/RPi-LTIB/raspberrypi-tools-9c3d7b6-1.i386.rpm
instead
of it coming from the gpp.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

As usual, my packages, diffs, etc. may be found here:

Rob Bishop - one of the RPi designers - is in town Saturday, and I'm signed
up to talk about what I've done with LTIB for the Pi after his speech.  I
plan on saying that the PI will be supported in the LTIB trunk "shortly".
I'm looking forward to it :)
