Stop here! :-)
I'm very interested in knowing what you mean with "automatically applying
patches": I always used a mixed Debian-traditional way, downloading the
kernel sources from kernel.org, applying patches by hand and recompiling
using kernel-package stuff.
I'd really like to know what I need to do that: some particular package?
particular patches versions? a special directory to put them in? anything
else?
Pointers to docs are appreciated.
