And, presumably, the in-kernel ALSA sound modules are also not replaced when you install CVS alsa-driver? Why does CVS alsa-driver require CVS alsa-kernel for the compilation even with the config option --with-kernel=/somewhere/linux? >> cp -fR alsa-kernel/* linux/sound > >does recursive copy work in this way? >also omit CVS and kbuild directories if you have. Yes, if I understand your question, "cp -R" will copy all of the subdirectories recursively. It's probably better to use "-p" too to preserve modes, etc. >another easy way to update is to use the bk tree patch... Does the bk tree patch have older code than the very new drivers in CVS alsa-driver?
