Isn't that why we have branches like stable/2009? If a device doesn't get kernel development anymore the changes are small it will run a modern userspace. FWIW, h2200 is very similar to h5xxx, which is in mainline linux nowadays. H47xx is close as well. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFLccpRMkyGM64RGpERAvCVAKCzJ8nGtf17E0NbofjXQlfUQZZgQgCdGw+s k4trgzZNqZXvXL6m+efW5MQ= =Z08z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
