dont do this!!!!! you nasty things will happen and you will end
up with broken sources. thus having to get them again of the correct version
etc etc etc.

the second method here is correct.
for example, say you have a kernel version
kernel_source-2.0.34-1.tar.gz then the *only package you should apply to it
will be of the form:
kernel-patch-2.0.34-1.tar.gz,
or
kernel-patch-2.0.35.tar.gz
anything else will be silly.
