You should read the tutorial until you find the 'Using git for collaboration'
part. You missed a:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
Alright sweet, i got somewhere :). i was able to pull that down, do
my previous steps and git commit and then the git format patch and it
pulled down a whole bunch of .patch files.
i've seen them before. they also exist here.
http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/backport/r8169/20070604-00/broken-out/
Im confused as what i would need to do with these files. would i run
them as a patch against the r8169.c file? ie: patch p1 < 'one of the
patch files.patch'?
the other thing i've ran into trouble with is getting the git kernel
version for 2.6.16.52. i've searched for a 2.6.16.52.git file and
haven't seen anything and also tried using get pull v2.6.16.52 and i
get a fatal error. unable to chdir or not a git archive. i've also
tried without the .52 and get the same thing.
v2.6.23-rc1 is not available yet. Replace it with 'master' or, say,
4eb6bf6bfb580afaf1e1a1d30cba17a078530cf4
i just used v.2.6.22.
PS: please trim the irrelevant parts in your reply and do not top post.
Sorry, about that. gmail hides previous emails.
i just want to make sure it was understood that i want try and make
the r8169 driver that supported my card in 2.6.22 and back port it to
work in 2.6.16.52.
