I agree that this seems to be a major problem of the PPC Linux port at
this time. It is not clear at all how the flow of patches from user
contribution, to PPC kernel tree, to Linus' tree is happening... and
unfortunately, too often, it just isn't happening.

Cort posted the following on linux-kernel, this past Thursday.   (Cort

It's unmaintained right now.  The www.ppc.kernel.org site is gone.
Take a look at www.fsmlabs.com/linuxppcbk.html for the PPC tree.

Is someone planning to step up and take over, then, officially?  Or is
Cort going to be back?
