One easy way is to download these scripts from http://www.xenotime.net/linux/scripts/ : get-mmotm get-base-and-mmotm grab_kernel get-base-and-mmotm calls the other 2 scripts and downloads the base kernel version that mmotm applies to, then downloads mmotm, then applies the mmotm patchset to the base tree. -- ~Randy LPC 2009, Sept. 23-25, Portland, Oregon http://linuxplumbersconf.org/2009/ From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Randy Dunlap Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 05:10:54 +0000 Subject: Re: Newbie: howto get mm tree up to date using quilt Message-Id: <4A44585E.20902@xenotime.net> List-Id: References: <1faf47660906252159n78d6c3fdpf55a52e691a802bf@mail.gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1faf47660906252159n78d6c3fdpf55a52e691a802bf@mail.gmail.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org Charles 'Mack' Rhinelander wrote: > I'm running 2.6.28-rc2-mm1, the latest mm tree.
