#2150: Kernel upgrade using patch files -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: Moody | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Hi,
here is just a small patch on the books XMLs which deals with the kernel. When upgrading to a new kernel patch level (e.g. 2.6.24 --> 2.6.24.1, or even now from 2.6.24.1. to 2.6.24.2) the book forces us to download the full kernel package (which is ~46 MB) while just a few days ago we already have downloaded the base version. With this modification I introduce the usage of the patch-x.y.z.p.bz2 files provided on kernel.org which is a patch on the base version. In the current status, it is just 16.6K, much less in size than the full tarball. -- Thomas -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2150> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
