Hi all,

I haven't been active on this mailing list since 2004 or so, so let me (re-)introduce myself.

I'm Lennert Buytenhek, and I live in the Netherlands. As far as open source contributions go (other things I've done probably aren't very interesting), in the past I have written an ext2 resizer (called ext2resize), contributed ext2 support to PartEd, rewrote the bridging support in Linux 2.3.something, hacked on User Mode Linux, and a bunch of other stuff, and these days, among other things, I am occasionally seen hacking on ARM Linux kernel Things.

Recently, I produced an unofficial (but-seems-to-work-all-right) port of FC6 to the ARM architecture (after having ported FC2/3/4 to ARM in the past):

http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/

The current set of diffs[*][**] is available for inspection here:

http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/diffs/

I'm posting here because I would really really like to get the relevant diffs merged back into Fedora. I believe that ARM is well-supported in the various upstream projects that Fedora packages, and so this should be a relatively painless process (if you look at the diffs referenced above, most diffs are actually only spec file changes to cope with the addition of a new architecture.)

I'll follow up with a mail with thoughts about secondary architectures.

thanks, Lennert

[*] Some of which were produced by Russell King (ARM Linux kernel maintainer) or Ralph Siemsen (Netwinder project.)

[**] NB: not necessarily the same set that we'll end up submitting for inclusion.
