Hi Jamie,

I'm looking for a Git repository which corresponds to the kernel in
the uClinux distribution, to see the changes with history in a
cherry-pickable form. Is there a repository?
No, there is no git tree for that kernel (or CVS, or any other
repositary type).
The uClinux distribution I'm looking at is:
http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/dist/patches/uClinux-dist-20090618-20091129.patch.gz
applied to:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/uclinux/uClinux%20Stable/dist-20090618/uClinux-dist-20090618.tar.bz2
For Git repositories, I looked around and found these which were
mentioned at various times and sounded promising:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-2.6-nommu.git
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gerg/m68knommu.git
(because it contains generic no-mmu changes too, and is kept up to date)
and of course :-)
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
To my surprise, the kernel in uClinux-dist-20091129 contains many
changes which aren't in the above repositories.
Have I missed the right repo, or isn't there one?
That kernel is really just a compilation of lots of other trees
(mostly vendors trees), almost none of which are git trees.
Much of the change in there is probably not mainline ready in
any shape or form.
In terms of m68knommu support it generally tracks behind my
git kernel.org git tree.
Seems to me m68knommu in current Linus releases of 2.6 is actually
quite good. Certainly works for me on mcf527[01].
It should be :-)
That is the primary place I develop, and keep up to date.
I use the m68knommu.git as the stepping stone into Linus
stock kernels. And everything else, including uClinux-dist
kernels, flow from there.
Typically I sync up the m68knommu.git in every Linus merge window,
and follow up with fixes for any breakage in the rc series.
Regards
Greg
