It seems to me that unless one happens to be IBM or one of the other big players getting more than a few lines into any of the places you mention is quite an undertaking :-(Not really. I don't remember having seen your patch on linux-kernel or linuxppc-devel either. Send me a pointer to the patches and I'll reviewthen and try to get them in.
Since I'm no kernel hacker I'm not the guy to bug about this. Like I said, I can help with patches to kernel-package and amiga-fdisk. Kernel is not my field. I know MAI themselves were working on porting the 2.6 kernel, but I haven't heard a single word from them for almost a year.
If you actually want the stuff maintained in newer releases I'd need some hardware, though ;-)
Which is why it would help to be IBM or one of the other big players. Does it look like I'm shitting hardware? ;-)
