Feature #309637, revision 3
Title: Expanded kernel-source
Requested by: Michal Marek (michal-m)
Developer: (Novell)
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
Create a "mirror" of the kernel-source repository
(http://gitorious.org/opensuse/kernel-source) that has the same commits
as kernel-source, but the trees are actual linux sources with the suse
patches applied. While this sounds easy and I have a working prototype
already, there are a few gotchas to solve:
* what to do with patches that do not apply (and with those that do
apply, but only with a specific version of patch(1))
* what to do with really ancient suse trees that where the patch series
was dependent on the architecture or flavor
* how to do this incrementally and automatically after each kernel-
source push
Also a nice feature would be to merge with the upstream branch whenever
the upstream version is updated, so that one has a single history to
browse.
Business case (Partner benefit):
openSUSE.org: Easy browsing of the history, without having to decipher
two columns with plus and minus signs.
