Hi there!

I cc:ed the pkg-fso-maint@ mailing list as well, but please continue the
discussion on the smartphones-userland@ one (R-T and M-F-T set).

I just uploaded a new 2.6.29 Debian kernel package, based on the latest
Git checkout, which contains the following fixes discussed recently:

- (6fbbacd00b2e6e09583b0f88aed39a7a6cfb6c81) the headset button

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.kernel/9913

- (d7ac922b016626921887e5a1ee42cefce1d0d607) GTA02 battery

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.kernel/9926

This kernel should be fully functional: please report any problem after
having checked if they are present with the very same kernel checkout
compiled by Openmoko, which you can find at

  http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/tmp/kernel/

I removed the 2.6.24 kernel from the pkg-fso repository, since it is
long deprecated upstream (both Openmoko and Linux) and anyway there is
no manpower to keep supporting it.

The following steps in order of importance (but not necessarily in
order of implementation):

1) merge upstream GTA02 .config into the Debian one

2) build a GTA01 package

3) start hunting GTA01/GTA02 differences (needed and not)

4) create a new modules-* binary package containing all extra (i.e. not
   GTA*-specific) drivers.  This will reduce the linux-image-* package
   size, obviously thinking about future installation on NAND...

5) build any driver not strictly needed to boot as module (e.g. battery)

6) syncing packaging with the official Debian kernels.  This is a
   longstanding aim, which will also mean finding a "proper" name

     http://bugs.debian.org/503292

As usual, any help would be appreciated :-)

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
