Hi everyone,
I have created a robot on kernel.org which makes incremental prepatches
available. It looks for standard-named prepatches in the
/pub/linux/kernel/v*.*/testing directories, and creates incrementals in
the corresponding /pub/linux/kernel/v*.*/testing/incr directory.
For example:
hera 86 % cd /pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/testing/incr/
hera 87 % ls -l *.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 kdist kernel 177158 Nov 27 10:17
patch-2.5.1-pre1-pre2.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 kdist kernel 102202 Nov 28 15:35
patch-2.5.1-pre2-pre3.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 kdist kernel 52955 Nov 29 15:29
patch-2.5.1-pre3-pre4.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 kdist kernel 53616 Nov 30 17:04
patch-2.5.1-pre4-pre5.gz
The naming and function of the patches should be obvious.
.bz2 and .sign files are available too, of course.

BRAVO!!!!
An excellent idea, and long-awaited.
Thanks,

Great.
While you are at it. Could you (when you have the time) extend the
system to include a patch between the last pre version and a final
version. Something like:
patch-2.5.1-pre8-2.5.2.gz
(when the time comes :-)

Fantastic! Thanks! Finally I can stop doing the diffs myself. (-:

I thought there was something I'd forgotten...
patch-2.4.16-pre1-final.gz is there now; others will be generated when
the time comes.

Fantastic! I was working on something similar in my spare time too, but it
wasn't complete yet. Good job!
Would you be interested in setting up a kdist-like list to email out the
changelog, diffstat, and incremental patch too as a product of the patch
generation script? That would increase the usefulness of comments like
"Alan - much merging" in the changelogs. Also, a script to update a web
page ala http://www.bzimage.org would make patch browsing really easy. I volunteer
to help if you like.
Thanks,
Matt

interdiff is great for that. Just take two patches against the same base,
and you get incremental patches. :)
