Hello, I have prepared a new version of the powerpc kernel packages (2.4.22-3). Again, they are still hold up in NEW, until a ftp-master deigns to find time for looking at it or at least provide feedback about what is wrong with them, but i have also made them available in the meantime at :
http://people.debian.org/~luther/powerpc/2.4.22 These packages include new packages for all subarches, and a much cleaned up kernel-build package (less than 2Mo instead of about 10). They still contain a copy of the vmlinux kernel which could be removed and taken from the kernel-image-2.4.22-<config>-pmac, but i don't know if it is worth it. If it is really needed, i could even go back from providing packages for all subarches, and do the necessary wrapper thing in the kernel-build package, providing a postinst maybe which would call the build script and create the necessary wrapper as needed. Not sure it is a good idea though. Here is an extract of the changelog file since 2.4.22-1 in the archive. kernel-patch-2.4.22-powerpc (2.4.22-3) unstable; urgency=low . * Replaced GMAC driver by the SUNGMEM one. * Added md5sum to all non udeb packages. * Now set CONFIG_NVRAM=y even on powerpc-small. * Added --initrd option to powerpc-small make-kpkg invocation. * Kernel-build cleanup, now includes build script. . kernel-patch-2.4.22-powerpc (2.4.22-2) unstable; urgency=low . * Create kernel-images for each subarch. * Don't rebuild the same kernel again for building the udebs. * Firewire support now builtin, not as modules, to be able to install from firewire devices. * Added HFS, HFS+ and AFFS as udebs. (Closes: #213248) * Added kernel-build package. * Added config-small configuration for miboot floppy installs. (Closes: #197460) * NFS root filesystem now builtin. * Added Pegasos support. * Added Voodoo patches (don't seem to be enough for Voodoo 4 & 5 though).
