Hello, Debian kernel team, I have a question about the code diff between the orig.tar.xz and the upstream stable kernel.
[1] orig.tar.xz of the debian kernel $ apt source linux As of writing, I get linux_5.10.28.orig.tar.xz [2] stable kernel from kernel.org I can download the same version of the stable kernel from kernel.org, like this: $ wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.10.28.tar.xz I just expected [1] and [2] would be the same, but actually some files are missing in the debian one. I extracted [1] and [2], and compared the contents. $ diff -r -u deb/linux-5.10.28/ korg/linux-5.10.28/ Only in korg/linux-5.10.28/arch/powerpc/platforms/8xx: micropatch.c Only in korg/linux-5.10.28/Documentation/netlabel: draft-ietf-cipso-ipsecurity-01.txt Only in korg/linux-5.10.28/drivers/media/i2c: vs6624.c Only in korg/linux-5.10.28/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb: af9005-script.h Only in korg/linux-5.10.28/drivers/net/appletalk: cops.c Only in korg/linux-5.10.28/drivers/net/appletalk: cops_ffdrv.h Only in korg/linux-5.10.28/drivers/net/appletalk: cops.h Only in korg/linux-5.10.28/drivers/net/appletalk: cops_ltdrv.h Only in korg/linux-5.10.28/drivers/video/fbdev: nvidia Only in korg/linux-5.10.28/drivers/video/fbdev: riva I guess there are some reasons why those files were deleted from the debian kernel. What is the story behind this? -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
