Nope, as I have written I agree it is noncritical and not a good thing to stick a new guy on. We should compile without GTA01 enabled though, and we will when I rebase the patch for it. Politically getting kernel bits upstream has such mindshare at the moment that it is eclipsing everything else. > C'mon guys!

Then perhaps Maybe mwester can post them here? I mean I can go and fetch them and post them here and integrate them if not, but it feels a bit strange. > you can move closer to the goal of a single openmoko kernel that *all* > distros use, rather than the current state of two or more different > kernels used by various distributions.

Expecting "Openmoko Windows XP" is misguided, Debian is a really healthy sign for the product and for us. But, I agree with your other points, we should aim to have such a good kernel there's no need to consider others except for development of special features. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjweP0ACgkQOjLpvpq7dMo3WwCfWP09cwQj34KseGKEiNbwLXEp z6oAoJKKEh4CjI3V7bB/DmFIOpSCiCpF =ZXob -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
