Yes, it's against Linus' current tree. > and when a new releaese is ready, you put it into something like this: > http://linux-m68k-cvs.ubb.ca/~geert/linux-m68k-patches-2.6.23 > ? Yes. And any critical changes to linux-m68k-patches-2.6 are applied to linux-m68k-patches-2.6.23 as well.

Perhaps you have `CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-m68k"' in your .config?
