Hi,
OpenMosix is atm in the process of being ported to kernel 2.6.
Therefor the kernel patches for 2.4 are a little bit outdated.
The userland tools are rewritten as well for 2.6.
Current progress is as follows:
Patches for 2.6 exist and are in an alpha state. Means basic
functionality is there, still bugs in there.
Userland tools are atm a little bit more alpha as they rely on the
kernel interfaces.
If no one else steps up i can maintain openmosix, but my time is quite
limited. But i think this should be a better option than removing it
from the tree.
Regards
Michael

It should be removed from portage, but as this is quite a big thing I'm
expressing some haste before kicking it. Is anyone working on bringing
this back up to date? Any strong objections to the actual removal
(despite it being hardmasked already)?
Thanks,
Daniel
