Status of kernel-patches in sarge

[Francesco Paolo Lovergine <frankie@debian.org>]

I'm performing an ongoing activity to check the applicability of current
kernel-patches against sarge kernel-sources for 2.4.27 and 2.6.8.

An almost complete summary is available at 

http://people.debian.org/~frankie/kernel-patches-checks.txt

As you can see, there are a few patches which cannot be used
with neither 2.4.27 nor 2.6.8. Marked patches should be simply RC bugged
and hinted for remove if not aligned properly.

I would also point that too often patch names differes from their kernel-patch names,
without justification. I'm working on a little script to do this kind of
light check automatically, too.
