Re: [Devil-linux-develop] patch for minor kernel version updating

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

I like it, then we don't have to download that huge kernel tarball every
time.
It may also work if you use the $KERNELVERSION variable (may be spelled a
little different) for the filename, then we don't need the separate
folder.
Something like:
bzcat $DL_DIR/srv/patch-$KERNELVERSION.bz2 | patch -p1 || exit 1
