News & Announcements
- Puffinfest Fort Collins
- From Saturday 24th of March to Wednesday 29th March, a flock of
Linux/PARISC developers gathered at the Hewlett-Packard Fort Collins
site to discuss various issues related to the port. We have
pictures.
- Linus 2.3.99pre1 merge
- While at the fest, we merged Linus' 2.3.99pre1 tree into our tree.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the merge. This gets us through
the softnet merge, which meant we couldn't pull later drivers into our
tree. Hopefully there won't be any further drastic modifications of
the internal APIs before 2.4 is released. pre2 has been unstable for
some people and pre3 has broken root NFS, so pre1 was as far as we
wanted to go for the moment.
This Week's CVS Activity
- The bulk of checkins came from the 2.3.99pre1 merge
- We changed the assembler syntax slightly for compatibility with other
ELF platforms.
- Palo received some fixes.
- The tulip driver from 2.3.99pre3 was pulled into our tree.
- The glibc porting work continued.
