Hello! BTW, is it possible to have just patch against previous version (to reduce traffic and CPU)?

I think because it isn't always possible we normally don't do it. I think it's enough to do diffs for minor release (i.e. 7.2.2-7.2.3, 7.3.0-7.3.1 and so on). BTW, I had no problems with patching Linux kernel this way (e.g. having vanilla 2.2.16 then sequentially patch for 2.2.17, .18, .19, .20, .21, .22) though there were added directories. -- WBR, Yury Bokhoncovich, Senior System Administrator, NOC of F1 Group.
