 - The primary source for the "current" up-to-date kernel source tree for
powermac
   is Paul Mackerras rsync tree. It can be retreived with rsync:

      rsync -arvz linucare.com.au::linux-pmac-stable <dest_dir>

   This tree contains all the latest fixes, features, etc... as long as
they are
   considered stable.

Similarly, I heard some time ago, that

    rsync -auvz linuxcare.com.au::linux-pmac-devel <dest_dir>

would give me a fairly recent development (2.3.x) kernel.
Jan 14, and Feb 1, I succeeded in building a kernel (2.3.39) from that,
jippie!  But since then, I'm getting silly permission errors:

    [root@appel linux]# rsync -auvz linuxcare.com.au::linux-pmac-devel .
    Welcome to the Linuxcare Australia rsync server
