Well, only two words from me. Oh Shit. The 2.5.70 ARM patch currently looks like this: 343 files changed, 45388 insertions(+), 7341 deletions(-) and I don't see that this will be reducing in size now that 2.6 is around the corner. I _know_ ARM stuff doesn't build and hasn't built in Linus' tree for a fair time now - there are some generic changes to support ARM modules needed in vmalloc.c which I just haven't had the time to sort out, and there's still the issue of whether /proc/kcore actually works or not, and now I see that the time stuff needs re-working for multiple ARM platforms yet again. (yes, all the other architectures got updated, except for ARM.) Maybe I should just forget even attempting to merge upstream, like most of the ARM community doesn't. Frustrated such an understatement. -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) The developer of ARM Linux http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html
