Our workflow is an SRPM of patches, so that's what we work with. Anything else just adds needless complication, and worst of all, increases the possibility of introducing issues. The goal of the Fedora kernel is to stay as close to upstream as possible, aside from a few outliers, we generally do a very good job of that. --Kyle -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
