hello, I have a question on making patch of kernel: I modify the kernel, and want to take a patch out to send it to the mailing list. Normally we just need to run "diff -Nurp <org-dir> <edited-dir>". But there are few problems: - I must clean up the <edited-dir> before taking a "diff", (by "make mrproper"), and that is uncomfortable since after that I must recompile it, and that takes a very long time. - Even "make mrproper" doesnt clean up throughtly the code. Looks like there are still some files left by compiling process (like stamp-*). Then "diff" will take also those undesired files. What is your solution to the problem?
