How to merge Kernel 2.4.9 for hppa and new kernel 2.4.10
Quoted 7 lines
Hi all,
I just learn that new release 2.4.10 of GNU/linux kernel was released. I am curious to know how to merge last kernel 2.4.9-paxx and the new 2.4.10?
Is somebody can explain me or where to find relevant info?
- get a plain 2.4.9 source tree
- make a diff between 2.4.9-paxx and 2.4.9
- download the 2.4.9-2.4.10 diff
- apply to the 2.4.9 sourcetree and create a 2.4.10 sourcetree
- apply 2.4.9-paxx diff to 2.4.10
which should all be straight-forward, but then
- solve all the .rej files that are created, and debug the new kernel
which is something I wouldn't want to do :-)
If you read the linux-kernel mailing list, you'll see that some people = claim=20
2.4.10 is the best thing since sliced bread, but the first serious VM = problems
have been sighted already, so upgrading right away is risky.
Eventually, it'll be in the CVS at puffin.external.hp.com. Until then, the = best
thing to do is wait, unless you have the capabilities to debug the last = step.
If so, I think there are other things to get your teeth in - just ask = here.
Good luck,
Jurriaan

Getting a bit off-topic - but apart from keeping a careful eye on the linux-kernel list, does there exist any reasonable means of finding out stuff like this? Mainly known flaws in a given kernel release ... such as 'serious VM problems in 2.4.10', 'foobar was badly broken in 2.4.6' and so on.
