Lo! The new stable workflow based on kernel-ark confuses me and I want
to ask for advice if I got something wrong or if things are really as
they appear to me:

The sources file in dist.git for the Fedora 34 kernel currently(¹)
refers to a file that is called linux-5.11.1.tar.xz – but if you
download ("fedpkg sources") and unpack that file and look closer, you'll
notice that it actually contains the sources from Linux 5.11 (and not
5.11.1).

Is that intentional or just an mistake that someone did somewhere?
Because I find that really confusing.

Once I looked closer I noticed that the diff from Linux 5.11 -> 5.11.1
can actually be found in the file patch-5.11.1-redhat.patch (

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel/blob/f34/f/patch-5.11.1-redhat.patch

Yes, this is a mistake, and the 5.11.1 patches should in fact be in
the linux-5.11.1.tar.xz I looked at the built RPM and not at the
tarballs.  This was the first build with the merge from linux-5.11.y.
It is a process as so much of it was hard coded against linus' tree as
opposed to stable trees.  Will get that fixed soom.

Hah, okay, thx for clarifying and good luck with getting that fixed.

CU, knurd
