linux-2.6.20.3-ext3cow.patch	Added e3cfsprogs and ext3cow-tools. Ext3cow is a stand-alone disk file system, (e.g. ReiserFS, HFS, NTFS) based on ext3, that supports versioning through copy-on-write and a time-shifting interface.	2007-07-20 15:50:54 +00:00

linux-2.6.21.7-ext3cow_wouter.patch	There is a bug in ext3cow causing all rights to reset too root after a remount. The devvers at ext3cow.com are too lazy too release a new version, but the bug is fixed in their svn sources, so ive made a patch from those sources, which ive tested and it works.	2007-10-23 17:56:10 +00:00

README

*** Updating the kernel configs ***

- Copy the old Nix expression (e.g. linux-2.6.21.nix) to the new one
  (e.g. linux-2.6.22.nix) and update it.
- Add an new attribute to all-packages.nix.
- Unpack the new kernel.

For each platform (i686, x86-64, uml):

- Make an svn copy from the old config (e.g. config-2.6.21-i686-smp)
  to the new one (e.g. (e.g. config-2.6.22-i686-smp).
- Copy the config file for this platform
  (e.g. config-2.6.22-i686-smp) to .config in the kernel source tree.
- Run `make oldconfig ARCH={i386,x86_64,um}', answer all questions.
  (For the uml configuration, also add "SHELL=bash".)
- Make sure that CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING is NOT SET (otherwise fbsplash
  won't work).  If it is, investigate why (there's probably another
  option that forces it to be on) and fix it.
- Copy .config over the new config file (e.g. config-2.6.21-i686-smp).
