[mpls-linux-devel] MPLS modifications as a patch for Vanilla kernel

[Philippe F. <Phi...@eu...>]

Hi all,

We are using MPLS project on our platform and we would have question 
about it.

First of all, we are using Ubuntu (both 6.06 7.10 versions) as linux 
distribution. As we have to achieve modifications on our kernels, we 
choose to start from Vanilla ones (from www.kernel.org). Our kernel 
modifications are among other things, RTAI (Real-time feature), 
BIGPHYSAREA, etc ...
We noticed that the 2.6.22.5 kernel sources which are proposed on 
sourceforge.net website, are actually the default Fedora Core 6 
distribution kernel that you certainly patched/modified.
Our main issue is that we are not able to apply our patches directly on 
these MPLS kernel sources (as patches are generally made to be applied 
on vanilla kernel)
Basically our best solution will be to transform all the MPLS 
modifications that have been done into a patch file.
In order to achieve this, we have been advised to create a patch between 
the default Fedora Core source kernel and the same one after MPLS 
modifications (So this one -> kernel-2.6.22.5-49.fc6.mpls.1.958.src.rpm).

However, I've checked on all the RPM repositories websites and I was 
unsuccessful to find the kernel sources for a 2.6.22.5-49 from Fedora 
Core 6. So I'm not able to create such a patch for Vanilla kernel.
Could somebody help me ?

Best regards,
Philippe
