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 2.4.10which should all be straight-forward, but then
- solve all the .rej files that are created, and debug the new kernel
Actually I was not so far from the solution; I start this method (basicaly on vger cvs 2.4.10-prexx) and I just miss the last two steps. Thanks a lot.

which is something I wouldn't want to do :-)
If you read the linux-kernel mailing list, you'll see that some people claim 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.
Ok, I am far to have enough kernel knowledge (just a bit c) to begin this job alone. Also I will follow your advise and wait it puffin CVS.

Anyway It could also be helpfull for any other project.
Thanks again,
