Please note that I no longer maintain the quilt series file. I'm using
git only now.
For 2.6.28, there's a separate branch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git;a=shortlog;h=m68k-v2.6.28
Hmm, I've just noticed this is Linus' v2.6.28 with only a few new m68k
patches applied, while I think
I intended it to be the master (m68k) branch just after I merged it
with v2.6.28, with newer
critical patches applied when needed. Oh well...
But even if it was what I had intended, you'd still have to use `git
cherry' to find the m68k-specific commits
and import them into Debian. So I should have all changes nicely
rebased (and reordered/squashed) against Linus' latest tree, so you
can easily export them. This would also help in keeping track what
needs to be submitted upstream.
I'll try to do it right when v2.6.29 is released...
