Which kernel tree

I've got u-boot working on my custom board, so now it's getting
time to build a working kernel for my system-to-be.

I have a PPC405GPr. I'll be writing drivers for the SystemACE
and custom chips on the board, but I might as well do that work
on a kernel that I'll be able to use for a while. So that begs
the question, which kernel tree should I be following?

There's the one at denx, that seems to be 2.4.4 from over
a year ago, or there are the kernels at www.kernel.org,
that may not have the up to date parts, or there's the
bkbits.net bitkeeper tree.

Try linuxppc-2.4 BK tree (ppc.bkbits.net) it should work just fine for
405GPr.

If you have problems with 405 and this tree, please post them to this
list :).

OK, so that means I'm going to have to get accustomed to
bitkeeper. That'll be slightly interesting. (Grr..)

You can use something like
rsync -az --delete source.mvista.com::linuxppc-2.4 linuxppc-2.4
to download the tree.
