Daily snapshots of what? mm-tree doesn't have daily snapshots. Andrew Morton hasn't released a -mm patchset lately. He's been making "mmotm" (mm of the moment) releases/announcements. > Can somebody please tell me the steps to do this?

One easy way is to download these scripts from http://www.xenotime.net/linux/scripts/ : get-mmotm get-base-and-mmotm grab_kernel get-base-and-mmotm calls the other 2 scripts and downloads the base kernel version that mmotm applies to, then downloads mmotm, then applies the mmotm patchset to the base tree. -- ~Randy LPC 2009, Sept. 23-25, Portland, Oregon http://linuxplumbersconf.org/2009/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
