Let me give you an example to illustrate what I would like to know:

Given, kernel 2.6.22 was out, and 2.6.21.3 was the latest previous
stable kernel. Is there a patch against 2.6.21.3, for an easy upgrade
to 2.6.22?

Thanks,

-André

Are you referring to Debian packages or kernels from www.kernel.org?
The latter will publish a patch against 2.6.21 when 2.6.22 goes stable.

I save those patches to disk so it is very easy to generate a new kernel.

Sorry: the kernel.org sources.

Could you point me to a URL please? Would I have to remove the
patches 1-3 (in my example) prior to using this patch against 2.6.21?

I've been using the incremental patches from
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/incr/>, but they only
work "within" a release cycle (2.6.21.1-2, for example). Not exactly
what I'm thinking of for my slow box.

So here:
http://www.kernel.org/
they now have:
The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.21.3
and that last piece refers to:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...h-2.6.21.3.bz2
which is a patch against the 2.6.21 kernel.
When 2.6.22 goes stable that line will read:
The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.22
and that last piece will refer *probably* to:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...tch-2.6.22.bz2
which *still* is a patch against the 2.6.21 kernel.

If I did not explain right or am wrong, get back please.

The thing is: both patches seem to apply to 2.6.21 not 2.6.21.* (your
ex. 1). So I would have to downgrade to 2.6.21 in order to use any of
these. Right?

If you created *once*, and do not have the pieces anymore, a 2.6.21.*,
then yes, you would have to downgrade to 2.6.21 for any of their patches
to apply.
