Hi, currently, -rc and stable release updates are done by adding patches to patches.kernel.org/. Especially the -rc1 patches are *huge* and cannot be paired with any other object in the repository, so their gzip-compressed size adds to the total repository size: $ git cat-file -p b9044e3353ff21f12a86788a18cf36ba1071b6ab:patches.kernel.org/patch-2.6.37-rc1 | gzip -c -9 | wc -c 14627847 that is almost 14 megabytes. So I would like to propose to more or less discontinue patches.kernel.org and instead use the SRCVERSION variable in rpm/config.sh. This is already used in the vanilla and linux-next branches and it works. Code changes are more easily reviewed in the kernel.git nowadays, tar-up.sh and sequence-patch also work if you don't have the tarball around (it generates one from git, which is arguably slower, but works), so I think it's worth doing it.
