Or this. Or use git as was suggested by others, to track kernel changes in a finer-grained manner. Or try the -mm patchset which has --- how shall I call it --- pre-release code. Or track some subsystem-specific or architecture-specific development trees if you are especially interested in a platform or driver subsystem. See the MAINTAINERS file for their development repositories. These repos do not always carry self-contained source trees though, and what purposes they serve for the maintainers and how they can be used by others than the maintainers differs from repo to repo. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== ---= -=--= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
