...and the patched vanilla-sources fails because of missing FPU-related symbols. :-( i don't who of you handles this It's the first time i hear about MPPE. The other sparc devs don't seem to know it much as well. We have enough arch releated problems with sparc-source at the moment and i'm not willing to add such really specialzed things as a patch which only makes it worse. Such patches also make it harder to update once a new kernel version is released. I think at this point we should focus on really generic patches (like grsecurity for example) and ofcourse sparc specific fixes and updates. I leave this bug open until i talked to most other devs and heard their opinion. I can see how stabilizing the current SPARC kernel is first and foremost. I would however like to suggest it as a high ranking feature. The ppp build in Portage is patched against MPPE by default, so I do suppose it would be consistent with Gentoo policy. :-) There are currently no plans to integrate this in the sparc kernel now. |
