This doesn't exactly answer your question, but probably the easiest thing to do is something like this: 1. Unpack a "clean" version of the release you already have. 2. Run a "make clean" in your current source tree (to get rid of files that get autogenerated). 3. Run a diff between the clean version and your current source tree (in that order) to generate a patch containing your changes to the dist. 4. Hand edit the patch (if necessary) to remove files/changes that shouldn't have been included. 5. Unpack the latest (full) version of the dist. 6. Apply your patch (use --pretend first, to verify the changes are compatible!) to bring your modifications into the new dist tree. _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
