Incremental Patches

[j0]

A big, BIG help would be incremental patches. Like a patch from 1.9.6-1.9.7. This way I wouldn't have to start with a new kernel and apply all my patches each time I wish to use the latest grsecurity patch. It becomes a lot of work when you need stuff like the international patches, FreeS/WAN, and all the netfilter patches. Especially when some of the patches require manual patching. I wish more patch authors did this.

There is a program called interdiff in the patchutils package. With e.g.

Code: Select all

interdiff -p1 grsecurity-1.9.7-rc5-2.4.19.patch grsecurity-1.9.7-2.4.19.patch

you get a nice 400-line unified diff.

Why couldn't I have known about this earlier...
So i can just run that on my rc4 patch that was already applied and the final patch here and then apply that? (I hope thats right cuz I've already done it)

Thanks,
