Hi Arne,
you just dropped the Linux kernel which was compiled for ARM Versatile
from IPFire 2.x:
http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=c94c1fa5574230d9edbefdfe6aea14874593ec31
The reasons are that there is no use for it except virtual environments
with QEMU. However, these are very slow and pretty much unusable.
Do you think there are any other reasons to keep the versatile kernel in
IPFire 3? I guess we could drop it, too.
A benefit would be a massive increase in build time of the kernels for
ARMv5tel which is more than 8 hours on Pandaboard.
Michael
