I toyed with the idea a few times. It might actually make sense to do something like this. There's probably always a handful of patches that you'll want from the Fedora kernel (things like the make nonintoldconfig thing for eg) but it could be worthwhile. I've chatted with Andrew Morton a number of times, and he's also wondered why we don't do it, and I don't really have a good answer. Meh, lets do it. If we can hook it somehow so that when I do a 'make build' for the rawhide kernel, a vanilla also pops out, all the better. (Though build times for the kernel are getting _crazy_) Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk _______________________________________________ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
