Hi Folks,

I spent most time of the weekend to get out a new series of patches for
the 2.4 kernel. Actually there are six supported kernels and the latest
version of each patch also touches the input subsystem and parts of the
CAPI implementation. People who plan to play with the Bluetooth HID
support should enable CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT. The changelog and the patches
themself can be found here

	http://www.holtmann.org/linux/kernel/

It seems that the acceptance of these patches is very high, because the
top 10 downloads are these

	   2531  patch-2.4.22-mh1
	   1651  patch-2.4.20-mh12
	   1063  patch-2.4.21-mh2
	    868  patch-2.4.21-mh3
	    852  patch-2.4.20-mh10
	    788  patch-2.4.20-mh11
	    759  patch-2.4.21-mh4
	    560  patch-2.4.18-mh9
	    456  patch-2.4.20-mh6
	    418  patch-2.4.19-mh12

Even with my set of build and test scripts the job in putting out a new
series of patches and backporting features to the older kernels consumes
too much of my time. I personally don't use these patches anymore, but
it seems that some people or companies still use them. At the moment I
am thinking of cutting the maintenance for these kernels. Who has urgent
needs that an older kernel version is still supported?

Regards

Marcel
