It's not really possible to do it this way. How do we know that you have 2.6.24-rc2 already downloaded? We don't... so we cannot make SRC_URI guess.

We don't... so we cannot make SRC_URI guess. > Well, wouldn't it be possible to, regardless of what is already installed, make it successively download and apply 2.6.23 to 2.6.24-rc1, then rc1-to -rc2 and rc-2 to -rc3 ? That way, if some of the patches are already in the distiles dir, they won't be downloaded again, will they ? |
