:(, ...
Michel lets bug Jes for a new m68k stable release, and take the stable kernel
over from Jesper, What do you think about it ?
Jesper, i volunteer for taking over the apus 2.2 tree, but i am not sure if i
can do the same for the m68k side. I will write on the linux-m68k list about
this.
Friendly,
Sven LUTHER
