new package request -- reassigning to distribution. For the record, Ben's kernel patch is available at http://gate.crashing.org/~benh/albook-ibookg4-sleep-6.diff. This patch adds support to the kernel for the power management unit in G4 iBooks. There is a newer patch vs. 2.6.9 available at http://gate.crashing.org/~benh/albook-ibookg4-sleep-7.diff. When he released this patch, Ben said: > So here's the new patch, it replaces the previous one for Aluminium > PowerBooks, and is still against 2.6.9. I'll do something against > 2.6.10 when that one is out (it's a bit late to get that merged with > Linus, 2.6.10 is in freeze mode now) and I hope to get all of that > in 2.6.11. So perhaps we will see this stuff in the Fedora kernel once 2.6.11 is released. It looks like Ben's patch is in 2.6.11-rc3. The ChangeLog says: > <benh.org> > [PATCH] ppc32: pmac sleep support update > > This patch updates the PowerMac sleep support. [...] I'm not averse to pmud if we're shipping PPC for FC4. Apmud is now in Fedora Extras and the Fedora kernel supports power managment on new Apple computers. |
