Anyway, let me remind you that as for generating 2.6 netinsts, i _do_ need arch/parisc/debian-configs/* files to provide you with a 2.6 package. Since i'm not willing to find out by myself what we want and what we don't want in 2.6 "debian stock" kernel configs (that's a matter for the b-f maintainer i guess, or maybe my kernel package mentor - aka bdale - has some ideas about it ;), i won't be able to do anything _prior_ to these files appearance in our CVS tree... > But the -pa patch is a tiny fraction of the size of the 2.4 patch, so > it'll be much easier for everyone. that's for sure!
