linuxppc_2_5 snapshots

Cort (or anyone else),

Do you know when (if ever) there will be snapshots of the linuxppc_2_5 tree
downloadable via FTP?  My Linux box can only connect with a modem, while in
Mac OS I can use ISDN to fetch stuff, and I have to pay per minute over
here. :-(

Thanks,

When we get the 2.5 tree straightened out, I'll make a tarball of the BK tree
and point you at that.  After that, BK is pretty sparing in it's use of
bandwdith, moreso than rsync even.

I can also burn you a copy and send it to you on CD if you are really stuck
for bandwidth.

Hi,

OK, I can wait for that to happen.

I'm quite _that_ stuck / desperate.  I'm currently using a week-old snapshot
of 2_4 which runs like a charm.

How close are we to getting a buildable / bootable system in Linus' tree?
Is 2.4.1 just hoping too much?

Thanks,
