Updates list of 2.4.20 patches

Updates list of 2.4.20 patches

[Brent Clements]

Is there a list somewhere(with ability to download) of all of the
patches to 2.4.20 that people have applied or suggested?

I don't want to move my production system to 2.4.21-preX but I do want
to make sure I've kept 2.4.20 up-to-date.

Or is the answer, just wait for 2.4.21?

Thanks Alot!

For stuff already merged: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4
For stuff suggested but not applied yet read LKML.

ciao, Marc

Currently the non-official site for kernel updates patches is at 
http://www.hardrock.org/kernel/current-updates/

This includes the ext3 patches, ptrace patch, and tg3 patch which have been
show stoppers.  This should get you through to the 2.4.21 release.

For 2.4.20, I use the kernel sources in the Debian unstable archive,
currently in it's 6th release for 2.4.20.  It has the ptrace, ext3, and
padding fixes from 2.4.21preX, and some other bug-fix only things.

Depends on what you consider to be up-to-date. But I guess, you want
to have all the security fixes and important bug fixes and nothing
but.

James Bourne intends to maintain that and has put it somewhere on
www.hardrock.org (although I cannot find it right now).

James and H. Peter still haven't gotten around to put the stuff on
www.kernel.org, where most people would expect it to be. *hint*

Follow the link on the main page that says
"Current Mainstream Kernel Updates (2.4.20)"

and you'll have it.
