[parisc-linux] parisc-linux.org kernel

[Alexander Gabert]

i am asking because of www.grsecurity.net

i am tired defeating hunks they are putting in because they
work in arch/parisc on the vanilla kernel.org kernel.

can't you talk to them and convince them to use "our" parisc-linux image
for the grsecurity parisc patches in the future?

the PaX pageexec folks are also hanging in there...

it would be very good to have a working security hardening patch for
parisc-linux.  at least one.

if it would only be a matter of months when both kernels merge, it would
not be necessary.
but i don`t want to spend my time messing with patches when i can do
better things ...

thank you,

bye,


Alex
