'git pull' will get any updates. > What is the best practice to apply patches not yet in Linvilles tree? > > My purpose is to test patches from the list and will probably not do > patches myself. The "best" practice is probably in the eye of the user. What I do is to get the patch text into my wireless-dev tree by downloading or by saving the email containing the patch. If you do the latter, be careful about the white space. Too many mailers change tabs into spaces that kills the application of the patch. To apply patches, I use quilt. With it, you can "quilt import" the file and apply the patch with "quilt push". To remove the patch, use the "quilt pop" command. In case you do want to write your own patches, start with the "quilt new" command, then modify the source using the "quilt edit" command, followed by "quilt refresh". You can find a description of quilt from 'man quilt' or on-line.
