SEGREG and MUNGE_CONTEXT are still present in the bitkeeper
linuxppc_2_4 tree, so I just built a kernel from it instead.
Recompiling MOL from rsync worked fine, and I'm posting this message
via Eudora on MOL.
briefly, cd to somewhere convenient and do:
bk clone bk://powerpc.bitkeeper.com:5000 linuxppc_2_4
cd linuxppc_2_4
bk -r get
(then copy in your favorite .config, make oldconfig, etc.)
The bk instructions never seem to mention the 'bk -r get' step, but
I've always had to do it for my first try at any repository. After
that you should be able to get incremental updates with
bk pull
Naturally, you'll also need bk from <http://www.bitkeeper.com/>. Or I
think you can rsync the same data:
rsync source.mvista.com::linuxppc_2_4
I hope that helps others who were caught by the disappearing SEGREG.
