Topic: [OK] Modified Linux kernel source code in tuxfamily?

Hi,

I've got my modified version of Linux kernel 2.6.24 source code for an embedded device and I would like to share this code with people through all the world that have the same device, for code improvements. This code is very platform specific and its size is around 420 MB.

In your opinion is it possible to open a tux family project for this task?

If not, do you know where a project of this kind can be hosted?

Thanks,
Daniele

Hi,

Did you considered to distribute a patch or a git branch cloned from the vanilla one ?

Probably they would not be accepted because the changes are too platform specific.

Sorry previously I had not understood your question, but now I have. This is a very good idea. So I can distribute only the patch and create a project for the various patches. Thanks, that is an idea :-)

No problem ;), I was probably not clear.

IMHO the best solution is to clone the git repository and to start from this point.

I don't know how git works very well, but as this is a distributed system you can probably start your branch from any existing git repository, this way your repository will only contain your changes.

It is based on an ARM AT91SAM9260. Thanks for the links, very useful :-)
