Hello all, 2010/11/8 Jim Heck <[email protected]>:
> I am considering porting forward to 2.6.32, since I am now targeting > Squeeze, but want to do so only if there is some long term support for > security fixes and patches. It's a lot of work to do the port forward, > since I maintain the kernel and all of the customizations needed for my > system under revision control and need to systematically apply the same > changes to a new kernel. Also, this makes using a Debian kernel even more > troublesome, since kernel.org at least publishes delta patch revisions as > they update a kernel, which can be easily applied in order to update a > modified tree. I'm not sure how I'd exactly pick through the changes to a > Debian kernel package to apply changes (security updates, bug fixes, etc) > from the patch directory as it changes over the life of the package. It's > not nearly as simple as picking up the delta patches from kernel.org, since > there is no straightforward way I know of to decipher the chronology of > patches, or to even know if they are additive.
