I keep my src tree updated with cvsup, but I start to accumulate patches to kernel or programs that I'd like to include automatically each time I recompile the kernel (pretty often) or I do a "make world" (much less often). Those are usually patches that have been already put forward to the attention of the maintainers with a send-pr, but got forgotten or simply ignored possibly because considered not interesting. At the moment I simply manually copy the modified files into the source tree before recompiling, but, of course, next time I do a cvsup, the changes are gone, requiring me to repeat the process next time I compile (and likely forgetting some stuff). Is there already any pre-canned way to include those patches at compile time? (A parallel source tree, for instance.) Cheers, -- walter pelissero http://www.pelissero.de
