Hi all, I would like to have some practical hints and tips to work on a branch of the Linux kernel. Actually, I tried recently to include some stuff in the kernel tree and I got the Makefile running properly (I guess). But maintaining the patches, recompiling and working with other people on the same tree is like hell (I'm used to CVS). Does anybody have some tricks to make the development easier ? For now, my co-developer and I have decided to take our stuff out of the kernel and develop it out of the tree and when the release time comes up, we'll merge it back to the kernel and make a patch out of it. But it's a lot of manual work (even if we might do some scripts to automatize some stuff). Any sort of help and experience is welcome... :) Regards -- Emmanuel If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants. -- Sir Isaac Newton, in a letter to Robert Hooke (1676) -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
