bootsplash works up to (and including) 2.6.8.1.
The earliest patches in the fbsplash archive are against 2.6.8.1.
So, we would be dropping support for those earlier kernels, but we don't
really support kernels of such age anyway.
i was wondering more about whether 2.4 is supported ?
Looking to the bootsplash kernel diffs[1] it would appear that we have
several 2.4.x kernels that could still have this patch applied. The
exact versions are not there, but they could have been ported. Is this
patch in any of the 2.4.x patchsets currently sitting in the tree? If
not, there's no reason to keep the bootsplash packages since we don't
have the kernel support in the first place.
