The kernel is in svn still, which is what I meant there.
I plan to push:
armhf: move armmp subarch to the toplevel.
arm: include dtb files for netboot.
to d-i master shortly (once this quick test install is complete) and at
the same time I'll push:
armhf: Drop the version from kernel filename.
to pu/armhf pending the switch to 3.14. I'm also going to push the
kernel side change to trunk (current == 3.14) now so the first upload of
3.14 will have the versionless kernel binary in it.
Ian.
