Hello,
may be that are stupid questions, but anyway.
What is the correct way to handle your kernel patches ?
Can I download a linux 2.4.5 source tree and your 1.0.1 patch and apply
it, and after this only apply the official kernelpatches against the
kernel sources, to patch up to newer kernel releases ?
Or do I have to maintain a clean kernelsource tree, which I can patch up
to the newest kernel release, and after this procedure can patch in your
appropriate kernel patch ?
Is there a way (when using xfs as module) not to patch it into the
original kernel source, but only to compile it ?
I do not want to maintain an original kernel source tree which I am able
to patch up to newer kernel versions and an additional version, where I
have patched an appropriate version of xfs into, I only want to have
original kernel sources which I can use as I need, I do not want to have
extra work with an extra xfs kernel.
I think xfs is the most advanced filesystem around, when will it be in
the official kernel source tree ?
keep up the good work
best regards, Gerd
