The correct question is: how do I generate a patch against a given kernel, from the alsa-driver-x.y.z.tar.gz I can download from alsa.org ? I thought it was enough to diff -ruN the alsa-kernel dir (minus the Documentation folder) vs the /usr/src/linux-xxxxx/sound folder. I have seen that there are some scripts in the tarball that install the new drivers on a given kernel tree via symlinks, but I would like to get just a patch. I think I will have to diff selected directories, or create an exclude list... Are there files that are just copied from mainline and do not change in ALSA tree, or anything can change under alsa-kernel ? Now that I think of it, if you work against Linus tree, would it be more correct to diff against 2.6.12-rc5, and then try to apply to -rc5-mm1 ? Whe you do a release, which is your reference, latest stable (2.6.11), latest rc or latest git ? About git, I don't really like the idea of storing a full kernel tree just to do 'git update' or the like, and use the 'sound' part. Thanks. -- J.A.
