Very old. Hundreds of thousands of kernel changes old. Do you really realize how old it is? > but that's the latest we have. Who is "we" here? Why can't you use a newer kernel version? What is keeping you from updating? Out-of-tree kernel drivers? If so, where are they, I will be glad to forward port them for you and get them into the main kernel tree. > Is there a way around? As this seems to be a self-inflicted requirement, it seems that you would be the only one to be able to resolve this. You can't ask the community to do backporting work for you. > We have our patches to be taken care of Where are these patches? > so what is the best way to get Android specific patches form the source, > which version of linux kernel should I diff it with for getting patches? Just do a diff on the git tree, it makes it very trivial to do so. good luck, greg k-h --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
