Re: Scheduling linux-2.6 2.6.21-6



Hello Bastian,

I guess there's something I don't understand in the patching process...

dists/sid/linux-2.6/debian/patches/series/6 should be the file pointing
to the patches applied to 2.6.21, right? 
It cointains bugfix/all/stable/2.6.21.6.patch, but in bugfix/all/stable/
there's no file named 2.6.21.6.patch, just 2.6.21.6.log.

I was trying to build the various kernel images (I'd like to add a
bugfix for sparc but I don't know if I'll have the time to produce it
before tomorrow). 

BTW, I've put a first version of the patch in:
sid/linux-2.6/debian/patches/bugfix/sparc/ 
and added its name to:
sid/linux-2.6/debian/patches/series/6. 

Is it ok?

According to README.build now I have to run something like:

trunk/scripts/prune-non-free linux-2.6.21.tar.bz2 2.6.21

Unfortunately that gives me "Illegal instruction".

Hints?
ciao,
    ema
