Hi Paul,

I must admit I'm a bit puzzled. I've tried to quilt push -a both 
LTTng 0.89 and LTTng 0.92 taken from the website and they both apply
correctly on 2.6.29-rc3. When I quilt pop -a, neither of those 3 files
(include/linux/ltt-core.h, ltt/ltt-core.c, ltt/ltt-relay.c) are stucked
in my tree.

I've used files from :

http://www.lttng.org/files/lttng/patch-2.6.29-rc3-lttng-0.92.tar.bz2

Which tarballs are you using exactly ?

I guess you need to apply them to your existing tree, so pointing you to
git.kernel.org lttng tree won't help much here.

Mathieu
