I meant that I use to look at the download site and the kernel changelog to find the latest ACPI code. My question was not "where to find ACPI patches for kernel X or Y?". I was just wondering in *usually* kernel pre-releases and release candidates were waiting for latest acpi to be merged or if acpi development were not sync'ed but for stable releases. And if more precisely, the ACPI merging shown in rc2's changelogs mean that all the latest ACPI changes were merged to the kernel source (IOW: is is necessary to apply patches over 2.4.23-rc2 to get the latest ACPI stuff). Moreover, in a more educational way, showing books to a dumb guy won't help, neither showing books without teaching how to read :-).
