2_4 is on the same port as where 2_3 used to be.  2_4 is once again working,
so everyone go and try that tree on your machine.
so what's on the rsync linuxppc_2_3 ?
No idea.  It might be 2_4 it might not be. :)
(for those of us who still haven't had time to tangle with bk ;-)

and can I expect it to build?
what state does it represent?
(i.e. is it a continuation of the same tree - or a rebuild from the 2.4.0
final)
The 2_4 tree is building.  If it's not building, report it here.
It represents what will someday get to Linus.  Hopefully sooner rather than
later.  It's a new tree which is the old tree.  Cort made a new one, called
2_4 and I put all of our changes from 2_3 back in.  It's based off of 2.4.0
final.
is there any point trying kernel.org 2.4.0 final? (or ac3 - which I pulled
last night)
No.

It may help to create nightly diffs between Linus' 2.4.0 and linuxppc_2_4 and
put them on some FTP site. People still more like patches than bk :-)

bk help export

you want

bk export -tpatch

Cort's been using it for a year or more to send Linus patches.

My sincere apologies for the people who may misunderstand what I was trying to
say. Bitkeeper is a fine tool!

But many people may prefer to download the (small?) patch to make plain 2.4.0
usable on PPC over downloading bk and the bk tree.
