As a minimum, all the base patches should make it into "my" patched kernel, starting from a _clean_ Linus tree. The extras etc, should stop and warn that "this" patch does not "allow" etc "that" patch, "so, you need to choose which you want". ..preferably, patch-o-matic should also work as good with Red Hat kernels, up to and including "base", as Red Hat and its derivatives are the entry level distros. From "extra and up", work from the vanilla kernel trees. ..and, I'd like to have Patch-o-matic log what it does, to a file, either as the default, or as a suggestion on how to do it from the cli, in a readme, as you see, people come here to learn. > > > > > Already applied: submitted/01_2.4.19 > > submitted/02_2.4.20 > > submitted/ipt_multiport-invfix > > submitted/ipt_ULOG-mac_len-fix > > pending/01_ip_conntrack_proto_tcp-lockfix > > pending/02_newnat-udp-helper > > pending/03_REJECT-fwspotting-phrack60-fix > > pending/04_ftp-conntrack-msg-fix > > pending/05_ECN-tcpchecksum-littleendian-fix > > base/fuzzy > > base/iplimit > > base/ipt_unclean-ubit > > base/ipv4options > > base/IPV4OPTSSTRIP > > base/mport > > base/NETLINK > > base/NETMAP > > base/nth > > base/pool > > base/psd > > base/quota > > base/random > > base/realm > > base/SAME > > base/time > > base/TTL > > extra/condition > > extra/CONNMARK > > extra/h323-conntrack-nat > > extra/ip_tables-proc > > extra/ipt_TARPIT > > extra/mms-conntrack-nat > > extra/pptp-conntrack-nat > > extra/recent > > extra/ROUTE > > extra/rsh > > extra/string > > extra/talk-conntrack-nat > > extra/tftp-conntrack-nat > > Regards, > Filip > -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case.
