Updating the upstream source
============================
1) Start by downloading a kernel tarball from kernel.org
(ie, linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2) and, optionally, a patch
(i.e. patch-2.6.26-rc3.bz2).
1) You can use either:
a) a git repository of the kernel source
b) a kernel tarball from kernel.org (ie, linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2)
and, optionally, a patch (i.e. patch-2.6.26-rc3.bz2).
2) Run ./debian/bin/genorig.py <tarball> [patch]. This will produce
../orig/linux-2.6_<version>.orig.tar.gz
2) Run ./debian/bin/genorig.py <repository>
or ./debian/bin/genorig.py <tarball> [patch]
This will produce ../orig/linux-2.6_<version>.orig.tar.gz
(i.e. linux-2.6_2.6.26~rc3.orig.tar.gz).
3) Unpack linux-2.6-<version>.orig.tar.gz, cd into the new directory,
