how to apply lates reiser4 broken-out patch ?

[Artur Makówka]

hi, how can i apply all patches that are inside broken-out package (for 
reiser4 2.6.13) ? also, what does it mean in practice this "broken-out" ? 
( i know its not reiser questoin, the second one, but i maybe someone will 
answer anyways)

sorry for such basic questions, but there is no description on reiser 
website how to deal with many patches, in what order should i patch them , 
or why  there is no 1 release with all patched already applied )

thanks in advance

the patches should be applied in order as in the 'series' file. 

I know two things which can do that:
1) simple apply-us script (attached), just 
	cd linux-2.6.13
	apply-us  <path to broken-out set>

2) patch management scripts by Andrew Morton

Hmm, the namesys' broken-out set contains 'serie'.  Please rename that file to 
'series' for allowing the above tools to work.
