I went through most of our FC6 patches, and for each of them, checked
whether they would still be needed in rawhide, re-based them, and
submitted them to the upstream project (for non-packaging related
patches) and/or to RH bugzilla.

All RH BZs have been linked to the ARM tracker bug, which is here:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245418

These patches have been rebased and submitted upstream (or had
previously been submitted upstream), applied upstream, and will
be automatically picked up when the corresponding Fedora package
will be rebased to a newer upstream version:
	e2fsprogs-1.39-7.fc6		http://thunk.org/hg/e2fsprogs/?rev/d22a0a6fcd7e
	ekiga-2.0.5-3.fc6		http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ekiga-devel-list/2007-June/msg00024.html
	rpm-4.4.2-33.fc6		https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/rpm-maint/2007-June/000400.html


These patches have been submitted upstream but are not merged yet:
	util-linux-2.13-0.46.fc6


These patches disable java/mono bindings (as we don't have gcj nor
mono at this time.)  I'm not sure what to do with them.
	avahi-0.6.16-4.fc6		disable mono bindings
	gettext-0.14.6-4.fc6		disable java bindings
	subversion-1.4.3-2.fc6		disable java build
	vnc-4.1.2-9.fc6			disable .jar build


These patches fix real issues, and have been submitted to their
respective upstream projects, but as they don't fix all the issues
that we see on the ARM platform, I haven't BZ'ed them yet:
	firefox-1.5.0.10-5.fc6		firefox still goes into 100% CPU loop
	nspr-4.6.6-0.6.0.fc6		https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385583


There's about a dozen patches left that I'm hoping to be able to
get rid of in the next couple of days.
