Porting linux the RIGHT way

bob
There have been a number of questions on how to correctly maintain a linux
port for a particular board.

The following link gives a good grounding the steps needed.

specifically this applies to board maintainers rather than the "general
public"

bob,

Thanks for that link.  The machine ID part was helpful information . . .
the rest well beyond me!

In the other post I mentioned that there is a machine ID (1999), but I
assume from your comments that it refers to an older (?) piece of hardware.

Cheers,
Dave
