hi,

The Meego N900 kernel can be found at the following location

http://gitorious.org/meego-device-adaptation/n900_kernel-devel
OR
git://gitorious.org/meego-device-adaptation/n900_kernel-devel.git

'MeeGo-1.0' branch is synced with the N900 kernel in the 1.0 release.
Why is this just not part of the main meego kernel tree?  Why a separate
branch?

confused,

Are you talking about "meego-os-base/kernel-source"?

Yes.

Doing kernel development using kernel-source repo IMO is difficult.

Why?

I guess main intention of that repo is packaging of patches on top of
MeeGo kernel.

That's how kernel development works.

I guess Roger's intention is to create a git repo for kernel
development. Anyone can just clone this, create a patch and send it to
meego-dev.

The only purpose was to create a visible tree with what is in meego-1.0 release for n900.

meego kernel development needs to follow whatever process is mentioned here
http://wiki.meego.com/Kernel_Process or whatever that is updated to since it mentions that as obsolete.


If that is so, then it should be specified.  Note that using an expanded
kernel tree to do development like this is _very_ difficult and you will
get burned very easy.  It is not recommended that you do this, and it is
recommended that you handle development like the main MeeGo kernel tree
does it.


Agreed.
