Re: Patches applied to stock kernel

[Guo Hongruan <camelguo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have not used Fedora. But I am familar with debian.

For debian

There is a package named linux-patch-debian-2.6.18, which contains the 
patches used to produce the prepackaged linux source tree for debian. 
After installing it, there is a directory named 
'/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/debian' which contains all the 
patches for debian kernel source. the 'series' defines the order of 
applying patch.

For SUSE Enterprise Server

There is a file named README.SUSE in 
'/usr/share/doc/packages/kernel-source'.
# Install the package:

$ rpm -i kernel-source.src.rpm

# Unpack the patches and the kernel sources:

$ cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCES
$ for f in patches.*.tar.bz2; do \
tar xfj $f || break; \
done
$ tar xfj linux-2.6.5.tar.bz2

# Apply the patches

$ for p in $(./guards $(./arch-symbols) < series.conf); do
patch -d linux-2.6.5 -p1 < $p || break
done
From above, I think maybe the patches for suse kernel source are in 
kernel-source.src.rpm. But I am not sure.

Thanks
