Ok, anyway linuxppc_2_4 is supposed to be dead. But my point was, from
which TAG should i extract kernels from the linuxppc-2.4 to make debian
packages ? I tried the v2.4.24 tag, which seemed ok, but the version was
still 2.4.24-rc1. I guess this was a problem due to the haste of the
2.4.24 release or something, but it would be nice if it was clear which
tag we should export.

There is no tag you can use to do this.  Just like how 'v2.4.24' in the
old linuxppc_2_4* trees would get you 2.4.24 w/o any PPC changes, the
same will happen here.

This is getting more complicated ...

Ok, let's say, tomorrow i need to release a debian 2.4.24 powerpc
package, what should i take for this, and which tag/date/whatever should
i use.

First, do a bk help changes.  I mention this since I believe the
behavior of -e will change, or has changed.  Then do a 'bk changes' such
that you see all merge changesets.  Then just find that one that
corresponds to when the merge of Marcelo's tree that contained at least
v2.4.24 came in.  If there are changes after v2.4.24, you will have to
back these out from your patch manually (filterdiff or interdiff can probably
help here).

Paul, do you want to start adding tags to the linuxppc-2.4 tree?

I am trully baffled here, i don't know what is going on, but then maybe
it is my little comprehension of how bk works.

I did pull the linux-2.4 tree, and exported the v2.4.24 tag. I did the
same for the linuxppc-2.4 tree, and diffed the two exported trees. Both
were exactly the same.

That is correct. A tag has the same values (set of ChangeSets)
regardless of the tree (simpilication).

Could it be possible to add proper tags in the future to the
linuxppc-2.4 tree ?

If I do any updates, I'll try and remember to do this.
