Linux 2.5.0

Linux 2.5.0

[Wayne.Brown]

Is there going to be an "official" patch from 2.4.15 to 2.5.0?  I'd rather not
ftp the whole kernel tarball over a modem connection, and I don't have the disk
space on my laptop to keep both the complete 2.4 and 2.5 source at the same time
anyway.

2.4.15 is the same as 2.5.0

I think he is concerned about the _official_ 2.4.15 and the _official_ 2.5.0,
because, subsequent patches for 2.5.0 will not _cleanly_ apply on 2.4.15 tree
(although fixing them should be extremely trivial).

Can somebody confirm that the difference is only the version numbers in the
Makefile, and no other changes in Documentation/ etc?

Cheers,

Anuradha

hey, the _oficial_ word from Linus is that it had changed only the version:

[acme@brinquedo b]$ diff -uNr 2.4.15 2.5.0

Re: Linux 2.5.0

Thanks.  I had hoped the version number was the only change, but wanted to be
sure.  I'll be keeping just one source tree for both 2.4.x and 2.5.x and
switching between the versions by applying and reversing patches as needed, so
it's important that my copy of the source stay *exactly* in sync with Linus'
copy (otherwise I've have just altered the version in the Makefile myself).
With the help of your patch I've just built both 2.4.16-pre1 and 2.5.1-pre1 from
the same 2.4.15 source, which is what I wanted.

But keep in mind that this is only the fork point, from now on more and
more things will diverge and patches for one will not necessarily apply to
both trees.

Re: Linux 2.5.0

[Wayne.Brown]

Yes, I realize that.  When switching from one tree to another I reverse the
patches back to the fork point (using patch -R) and then apply the appropriate
patches for the tree I want.  That's the method I've used for a long time for
keeping up with both Linus' -preX kernels and Alan's -acX kernels with only a
single source tree.  (After 2.5 has been out for awhile I'll just drop 2.4
altogether and then it won't be an issue.)
