Just wondering, what is the current procedure to get the current
"release" (or snapshot) sources, for example 2.6.29 for m68k?
I have used git before, allthough not much, but I have not figured out
what to pull from where, and how to integrate the lot. A simple
step-by-step how-to would be nice.
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git
gives you a copy of the Linux/m68k repository. The default (branch `master')
is the current development tree (v2.6.30-rc1 for now).
2.6.29 development is done on branch `m68k-v2.6.29', use
git checkout m68k-v2.6.29
If you want to update later, simply do (if you're not on branch
`master', you'll have to
do `checkout master' first):
git pull
If you already have a copy of Linus' repository around, you can save diskspace
and download bandwidth by
1. Adding `--reference <path-to-your-copy-of-Linus'-repository' to the
`git clone' command (if you want a separate repository for m68k)
2. Set up a remote (if you want a combined one with Linus' and m68k):
git remote add linux-m68k
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git
git remote update
git checkout linux-m68k/master
or git checkout linux-m68k/m68k-v2.6.29
If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
