linuxppc_2_5 is, obviously, Linus's 2.5 tree plus PowerPC-related additions (which will eventually be merged into 2.5 mainline). linuxppc_2_4 is the stable PowerPC specific 2.4 tree (all, or the majority, of which has been merged into Marcelo's 2.4 tree, I think). linuxppc_2_4_devel is where any remaining 2.4-specific development by Cort is going on, and linuxppc_2_4_benh is Ben's tree (where the really experimental stuff is). The rsync is just a regular snapshot of the BitKeeper tree. -- Derrik Pates [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
