Description Charlie Gehlin 2005-06-02 05:13:36 UTC

I for one always patch up sys-kernel/gentoo-sources with
Gerd Knorr's Kernel patches available through webpage
http://www.bytesex.org (under kernel-patches) to get the
most out of my SCSI-media-changer and TV-cards. Wouldn't it
be great to include the "All-<kernelver>" in the gentoo-sources
patchset? They've always applied clean with exeption for a few
hunks with line-offsets. The patch could be applied "out-of-the-box"
with one exeption; the file 'localversion-kraxel' that probably would
mess up gentoo's naming standard for kernel-versioning.

Thanks in advance!

Comment 1 Charlie Gehlin 2005-06-02 05:16:32 UTC

Created attachment 60450 [details, diff]
All-2.6.11.diff

The patch valid to sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r9 (among other 2.6.11's)

Please get this included upstream instead, then it will automatically be
included in Gentoo kernels. You may find that most of it has been merged into
2.6.12.
