I like the idea. We don't ever modify those patches -- if we did, we're doing something wrong.
Great.
The down side is that replacing the entire tarball means that the OBS project gets a new tarball every time we do an -rc or -stable bump.
Hm, right, I didn't think of that.
That's time consuming when syncing the project. If we could work it so that it uses the incremental patches, that would be perfect.
Automatically generating incremental patches would be tricky (and also too much script bloat for a relatively little gain...). But it should be possible to eliminate uploading the upstream tarball completely if we can use "source services": http://doc.opensuse.org/products/draft/OBS/obs-reference-guide_draft/cha.obs... . As far as I understand, it is possible to upload a small xml file instead that contains the url of the tarball to download. Anyway, could you try the tarball method when you update to 2.6.39-rcX? A couple of more linux tarballs will surely not kill the buildservice. I'll look into the source service thing in parallel.
