I would have thought it would make more sense for it to diff against
vanilla/linux-2.6.16 (i.e., the pristine tree rather than the ref tree).
Most people are going to want an all-in-one patch to apply to a vanilla
kernel tree.
You are right, I also see no real value in having one xen patch + several
extra patches to apply. It rather makes the process of patching more
complicated. Although rpm helps me with the patching, I still have to
manually review changes in patches/ everytime I rebase our own RPMs...
resulting in this very thread. :-)
Does anyone see a use-case for not creating an all-in-one patch? On a second
thought, a separate "make mkpatch" (or a more explicit target name) could
provide an all-in-one patch without introducing transitioning problems for
users of mkpatches.
Should I create a patch to implement that? (Seems rather trivial and
suitable for my limited Makefile fu.)
