hi all,

this is more of informative mail, rather than a question.

in the ilugd meeting held on july 20th i presented a small project about
trying to automate/simplify patch/kernel management according to needs
of the user, rather than download the hole patch/kernel and then let
compilation select whats required.

a small final-pre-rc0.01 is up on the net for viewing.

or

(intro for people who werent around then...)
basically they allow you to select current/target version of the kernel,
and give you a custom patch for that. the best part being if you select
the architecture, (for e.g. ppc) it'd remove all other architectures
from the patches.)

1. there are lots more of TODOs, and aims for the project given on the
website... 
2. still trying to get sourceforge.net to allow cgi/pl or else hypermart
ki jai!! 
3. you probably wouldnt be able to do much about the patch, maybe just
try seeing it in "less" or something for a viewing thats all. its *not*
a bz2 file!!

i'd post further updates whenever they are available.

cheerios!
affly
robins
