scripts/patch-kernel: use EXTRAVERSION

2004-08-23T00:39:01Z

Update 'scripts/patch-kernel' to support EXTRAVERSION. Update usage message text. Fix some whitespace. Handle command line arg3 (stop-version) more carefully. No changes to -ac patch updates. EXTRAVERSION handling: any leading '.' and any trailing modifier (beginning with any punctuation, like "-ac" or "_kexec" or "+mm") are stripped, trying to get down to just a number. Then 'patch-kernel' increments EXTRAVERSION as long as it can apply "patch-V.P.S.X*". When that file isn't found, it resets EXTRAVERSION to "" and increments SUBLEVEL (as before this patch). Works for me. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

[PATCH] Fix bashisms in scripts_patch-kernel

2002-06-20T06:40:32Z

The following trivial patch makes the patch-kernel script executable by a bare bone POSIX shell like ash. Either that, or the interpreter line has to be changed to /bin/bash. The same patch applies to 2.4 (with some line offset).
