I've put up a new re-sync patch...

Some notes:

I've renamed the project formerly known as "MH-MiNT" to "FreeMiNT" to
encourage people to make their own distribution based on this one.

Due to public demand, I've switched back to .tar.gz for the full
distributions.  Feel free to re-package with `zoo' if you must.

Please try this new version.  If I don't receive too many complaints
about it, I'll probably announce it on a few Usenet newsgroups as this
will be the last distribution by me for the following six months.

(Julian, are you going to prepare a new doc/man distribution?)

After my .sig are the last few commit messages.


Now available via ftp from ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de:

    pub/atari/Mint/Kernel/mint-1.12h3-1.12.4-diffs.gz
        Diffs against the kernel patched up to the last megapatch

    pub/atari/Mint/Kernel/mint-1.12-1.12.4-diffs.gz
        Diffs against the virgin 1.12 kernel.

I've also put up complete binary and source releases of FreeMiNT 1.12.4:

    pub/atari/Mint/Kernel/freemint-1.12.4-bin.tar.gz
    pub/atari/Mint/Kernel/freemint-1.12.4-src.tar.gz

You can also get this via email by sending a message to
ftpmail@ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de containing something like this in the
message body:

    send pub/atari/Mint/Kernel/mint-1.12h3-1.12.4-diffs.gz

Bye,
Michael
