I uploaded new 2.6.8 kernel-images for m68k a week ago, but I did not make it
urgent...: Too young, only 7 of 10 days old
For 2.4.27 I am waiting for the latest kernel-source to be released before I
build new images. This is supposed to happen today/tomorrow? I should be able
to get those images ready over the weekend then, and I'll try to remember to
make it more urgent...
I have no idea about the abichanges, m68k uses no abiname? Is that a problem?
Is there anything else m68k has to do, like build new d-i-k-i-m68k packages?
Anything else I am missing?
