<p class=MsoNormal>Over the past few months I had started a skeleton for
accelerating some functions on the Cell processor using my PlayStation 3 with
Fedora Core 7. However, recently my PS3 bricked and I have sent it in for
repair/replacement. Luckily the work I did was stored on my NFS server but I am
not sure that I will install Linux on the machine that I get back.<br>
<br>
I will send a diff of what I have done when I have a chance. If someone would
like to take over the work please feel free.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Cool. Please send it when you get a chance. You never know,
your NFS may also run into some problems before you get your PS3 back (Murphy's
law).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I have access to a PS3, so if your patches are clean and
work well, they may get merged into x264's source tree.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>In the mean time I was wondering if this project has a bug
tracker. I wouldn't mind doing some bug-squashing on *ix or Win32 (I have
Virtual Server 2005 at home -- will probably create these as VMs soon).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Well, luckily, there aren't that many bugs that don't get a
