I need the process to be easy so that whom ever succeeds me doesn't have to learn much more than just running a couple of scripts that I wrote. Even how, I catch enough crap from my boss already for spending so much time tinkering with servers instead of programming :) A quick look at the gentoo-sources ebuild makes it look like the patching must be happening in an eclass somewhere, but I'm no bash or ebuild/eclass guru. My skills end at fixing dependencies in packages and doing simple ebuild copy version bumps. Is there a guide out there for rolling my own kernel ebuild? Chris PS. Sorry if this is a double post. The ml seems to silently reject my posts that I do through gmane.
