Updated Howto needed: How to compile a kernel like etch's.

[Nick Hill <nick@nickhill.co.uk>]

I have tried and failed to find a howto which will fill my need:

I need a howto which gives the steps, package names and repositories to

1) Build a kernel just like the binary distribution in testing/unstable.

2) Build as 1) above but be able to apply/remove patches during the 
build process

3) As 1) But using the latest svn patch sets from debian kernel 
development tree.


I had an un-published howto which applied pre-sarge, but many things 
have changed. I have not found a howto or a method to achieve any of the 
above.

There are plenty of howtos which say along the lines of: download debian 
source package or from kernel.org, make menuconfig, make-kpkg etc. But 
that is not what I am looking for as I will end up with something other 
than a current Debian kernel. If I wanted to create a patch for 
submission, I can't be sure it will work without having a build process 
for a patched debian kernel.
