Hello,
I download again the latest patches for 2.6.3 and 2.6.4 and I've a funny (and
IMHO *very-problematic*) situation:
=====
gismo:/usr/src# ls -l kernel/v2.6/acpi-20040220-2.6.*
- -rw-r--r-- 1 luca luca 9470 Mar 1 08:15
kernel/v2.6/acpi-20040220-2.6.3.diff.bz2
- -rw-r--r-- 1 luca luca 12582 Mar 2 12:24
kernel/v2.6/acpi-20040220-2.6.4.diff.bz2
gismo:/usr/src#
gismo:/usr/src# ls -l /home/luca/download/acpi-20040220-2.6.*
- -rw------- 1 luca luca 15554 Mar 6 13:56
/home/luca/download/acpi-20040220-2.6.3.diff.bz2
- -rw-r--r-- 1 luca luca 12569 Mar 6 13:56
/home/luca/download/acpi-20040220-2.6.4.diff.bz2
gismo:/usr/src#
=====
So, there're 2 different patches with the same name and this can cause
inconsistency: if you release a patch at 20040305 (the last nigth), why do you
call it 'acpi-20040220'??? I mean, I use 'acpi-20040220' since 20040301 (as from
the 'ls -l') and now I'll use 'acpi-20040220' from 20040305: they are different,
as the size suggests, but from a 'cat /proc/acpi/info' I don't have any way to
know which one I'm using (the 20040301 or 20040305).
Again, why the same name?
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
