[PATCH 0 of 1] Linux updates

[Benoît THÉBAUDEAU]

Hi Yann, all,

As most Linux tarballs have now been put back on kernel.org, I send the
following patch to update Linux revisions.

I have removed the non-latest 3.0.x revisions as you did for 2.6.x since 3.1.x
is now the latest stable series.

Note that some older tarballs are still missing from kernel.org, especially for
the longterm revisions.

Best regards,
Benoît THÉBAUDEAU

Indeed, that is an issue.

However, there is nothing we can do in crosstool-NG as of now, due to the
way crosstool-NG expects to get its sources.

In the beginings, crosstool-NG was designed to build _production ready_
toolchains, so it meant using _releases_, not development snapshots.
So use of a git/svn/whatever VCS was not provisioned. As eglibc is only
distributed through the svn repository, a hack was made to shoehorn svn
support in crosstool-NG. I consider this to be a hack for now.

But I can see the point of also using development versions/snapshots for
testign purposes. That's why I'd like to entirely review how crosstool-NG
gets the sources. Alas, it's not that easy as it seems, if we want it to
be done correctly.

So, for the moment, the only way to use the long-term releases with
crosstool-NG is to use git to prepare the tarballs, and put them where
crosstool-NG can find them:

  git archive --prefix=linux-X.Y.Z vX.Y.Z |bzip2 >linux-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2

That's how I prepared some of the tarballs I use here...

Yann E. MORIN.
