Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Ok, just now committed a slightly improved patch into CVS.

* new make target: kernel-patch
  use like "make kernel-patch KDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-something"
  generates a patch-linux-*-drbd-* in the toplevel directory, you can
  then verify and apply it to your kernel source.

* or use scripts/patch-kernel directly,
  usage: patch-kernel /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-something /usr/src/drbd/
  (incremental) diff goes to stdout

* adds DRBD to the block devices menu of the kernel konfig
  for standard and UML builds
  currently only works for 2.6. kernels ...
  it should be fairly easy to adopt to the Configure.in syntax of 2.4,
  just do it, and we'll include it.

should work even with Slackware ;-)
