Hi,

I have a working 2.4.2 port for a board for SBS-or (VG4) here
and wanted to migrate this port to 2.4.9.

Checking out the sources I think I  can notice that there is a strong
push towards some kind of "one file" machine definition.

Is this right ?

More or less. Improving the abstraction layer is a continued focus
of development efforts.

And what would be the best 2.4.9 to start out with ?

linuxppc_2_4_devel is the only sane place to develop new board ports.
See the thread, "PPC bk repos reorg" in the linuxppc-commit archives
for information on getting a copy of the tree.  Go to bitkeeper.com
to get a copy of BK for your system.

Any written policy on the setup of the machine dependant stuff ?

No. Subscribe to the linuxppc-commit list and read the back archives
to see discussion of how we do things.

Read the source and follow one of the many examples (K2, Spruce, etc.)

Any way of getting my board defs into the official (?) PPC source tree ?

When you have _clean_ patches versus linuxppc_2_4_devel, post them
publicly.
