Yet rawhide still uses patches of this form. Is there a git > tree where these are maintained? Yes. Linus Torvald's git tree. ;) More verbosely, we have a script in the kernel package called "scripts/generate-git-snapshot.sh" that takes an environment variable which points to a local git checkout of Linus' tree. It then generates the git snapshots based on whatever is present in the tree after the current -rcX tag. So whenever I do a new bump, I update my local tree copy immediately with 'git pull', use the script, and upload the resulting patch with fedpkg. Then I do a local test build of the Fedora kernel package and try it out on a few machines. Assuming it works, the changes are committed and pushed and an official build is kicked off. The local upstream git tree checkout is kept pristine on the master branch. There are no additional patches committed to it, ever. Those go in as patches in the spec file if needed. josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
