I made some changes on the kernel source tree (2.4.10) and want to
make a patch file for it. So I can apply the changes later on rather
than make an archive for whole thing. But, how can I do it?
Let's say your modified tree is in the current directory and called
linux-2.4.10. Make sure the tree is clean (make mrproper should do for
the files generated by the kernel build) and unpack an original 2.4.10
tree:
tar xzf /where/ever/linux-2.4.10.tar.gz
mv linux linux-2.4.10.orig
now run
diff -urN linux-2.4.10.orig linux-2.4.10 >linux-2.4.10-changes.diff
this should produce a standard kernel patch, that you can (try to)
apply to a different kernel tree in the usual way:
cd linux-2.4.x
patch -p1 < ../linux-2.4.10-changes.diff
