Hi there!

Just a quick note...

Note that I *am* available (no one has tried to directly contact me),
but I mostly read the mailing lists without any interaction.  And I have
probably forgot to announce on other channels than debian-private, but I
was busy with finishing my PhD thesis:

I will be away at least one more week (snowboarding holidays) and then I
need to rethink about my FSO/Debian involvement (more will be sent to
the appropriate mailing list).

Note that now that 2.6.32 (the first mainline version that can at least
boot on GTA02) is officially in Debian, we must have an official minimum
s3c24xx kernel:

We will, for sure, if I will continue working on these stuff.

That is wrong, you should follow either how the pkg-fso kernel package
is built or the main Debian kernel package build system.

But please, no one should jump on it and do stuff in a rush only because
there is not an "official" Debian package for newer kernels: you can
easily use SHR kernels and indeed this would be even better, since you
can test kernel bugs on two different distros.

Thx, bye,
