Potato is almost out of the way for woody release.
You people realize that it is possible to build your own kernels?
Install "kernel-package" and you'll even get a nice deb, just like you
would from me.
2.4.x is not going into potato for sparc or sparc64, mainly because
woody is almost released. It is too late for sparc32-woody to get a
2.4.x kernel, because of testing contraints.
Nothing stops anyone from build a set of deb's for sparc32 2.4.x kernels
and emailing the location to this list. Hey, I'd even welcome someone
else taking on that responsibility, rather than hearing everyone
complain about it.
