That leaves powerpc and sparc unaccounted for in the list of "must-have" 2.6 archs. Part of my goals for the meeting are to figure out what a realistic timeline would be for getting these two archs synced up on 2.6.10. > I won't blame joeyh for laughing in our face (or spitting in it) if we > can't commit to having these other archs in shape quickly.

Knowing that the sparc kernels are somewhat time-starved, I'm not surprised that there are no 2.6.10 images in the archive for this arch. If 2.6.10 is something we should be shooting for, then having this meeting may be what's needed to help the sparc porters focus their efforts most effectively.
