That's the vast majority of it - there may be others, for example if you 
need to create or modify device drivers to suite your platform, 
uClinux-2.4.x/drivers/...

If you have flash memory and need to create a custom MTD map, that will 
be in uClinux-2.4.x/drivers/mtd/maps

Co-mingling source sub-trees from two different CVS repositories can get 
a bit clumsy, particularly when it comes to merging the changes back 
into the mainline.  I tend to just use parallel local copies of the 
tree, snapshotting at critical points, then when something works, fold 
it into the public CVS as quickly as possible.

The advice to me long ago was "submit early and submit often"!  I have 
commit rights now, and I try to get submissions in there as quickly as 
possible (don't always achieve it, but anyway ;)  As long as it doesn't 
break any existing platforms (I look after mbvanilla_net, Yashi watches 
suzaku) then it can usually go straight in.

Regards,

John
