The most important thing is that we can all agree on the same name. Which one we actually choose does not matter that much for me. I would prefer s3c24xx, though, as I've mostly settled for this name now for the things I've done in during the last days. Is there any opposition against this name? Some days ago we also talked to Vince and as far as I understood he did not care that much and would be fine with s3c24xx.

Is there no way we can commit the patches to the build system but not activate it for Debian builds? I would like to avoid having to maintain private patches outside of the d-i repository for a long time. And it will take at least until 2.6.31 is in Debian. It seems that 2.6.31 should have basic support for the Openmoko, but there are still some fixes needed. Unfortunately I couldn't yet find out if they are available somewhere. Gaudenz -- Ever tried.
