Kernel in CVS

[Lukas Ruf <ruf@maremma.ch>]

Dear all,

very often, I consult the fantastic information provided at
<http://kernelnewbies.org/documents/kernel-in-cvs/> for working on
CVS.  Thanks!

I do some programming with kernel modules.  Now, I would like to do an
update from kernel 2.4.17 to 2.4.20 as released by Linus.

There are some issues I do not understand exactly from the web-page:

- "If you want to upgrade to a new kernel version, first import that
  kernel version and create your own work branch for it, like
  described previously."

  Does this mean the following sequence?

  # tar xzf linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2
  # cd linux
  # cvs import -ko -I '!' -m "import linux-2.4.20" mylinux linus_2_4_20
  # cvs rtag -r linus_2_4_20 -b my_2_4_20 mylinux
  # cd ../mylinux
  # cvs commit
  # cvs update -dP -r my_2_4_20
  # cvs update -dP -j linus_2_4_17 -j my_2_4_20

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment!
