Basically I need a custom linux kernel (4.20) to use some features introduced in this kernel version. I could download the linux-source-4.20 package from the Debian experimental repository and build it via: # make ARCH="x86_64" -j2 bindeb-pkg But recently (2019-02-12) a new stable version (4.20.8) was released, and the linux-source-4.20 debian package wasn't updated. I think it wasn't updated since 4.20 had been released (correct me if I'm wrong). Since I don't really want to change much in the kernel, I just want to use the Debian one. Also I want the kernel to be up to date. I think the only way to solve this problem is to download the kernel source directly from kernel.org and apply the debian patches, which can be found here[1]. I just wanted to ask how to do it in the right way? I copied the debian/patches to the kernel source dir, and applied the patches via quilt. But there's also the patches-rt/ subdir in the git repo. Should those patches be applied as well? [1] https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux
