Incremental patches. Each patch applies against the previous -vz kernel.
so patch order for 2.6.11 would be
Starting with vanilla 2.6.11
-vz2, -vz4, -vz5, -vz9, -vz9.2
+ 2.6.11.8 > 9 > 10 just means I've included these stable-tree point
updates 8 through 10 as part of the patch.
I'll basically always use the vanilla release as a starting point and
include the point updates as part of the patchsets.
the latest patch vz9 to vz9.2 just includes the 2.6.11.11 and 2.6.11.12
point updates.
The versions jump around a bit (2->4->5->9->9.2) as I try different
things in between and don't often include everything I've tried between
one kernel and the next.
If it's easier for end users, I could diff the tree against the latest
point release so there's an incremental patch and a "full patch" that
applies against the most recent stable point update.
The reason I haven't done this is that providing the patches against a
2.6.x baseline rather than 2.6.x.y means the 2.6.x baseline tree is not
changing from one release to the next; it's easier for me to add the
point updates to the incremental patches rather than keep 2.6.x.y trees
just to diff against.
