Hi Herbert
I have started to look at a process to track vserver, plus a couple of
other kernel patches that I like. One of the minor snags I keep hitting
is minor merge failures with the Makefile... These merge conflicts would
disappear if you would be kind enough to switch to using the
"localversion-" method to add EXTRAVERSION params rather than patching
the Makefile? (this also seems like the most advocated solution as well?)
To be explicit, if you would please create a file: localversion-vserver
With the contents, eg:
-vs2.3.0.37-rc4
Then this would achieve the same effect as modifying EXTRAVERSION, but
would assist me by removing a regular merge failure which I'm finding
difficult to automate?
Also, I notice that you include in your patch some files normally
excluded by the kernel .gitignore:
drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/*_reg_safe.h
Perhaps these should be excluded when you cut your patch?
Thanks!
