Upgrading linux on custom kernel

[reS28raM]

Hi all,

Following advices from the site I successfully compiled a custom kernel from sources, rebuilt boot.img and the ramdisk and flashed it on my S3: it works.

Now I want incrementally upgrade the Linux part using git and the sources at kernel.org, let say to patch the kernel on the disk with the linux online versions 3.0.50, 3.0.51 and so on up to the latest 3.0.100. Never used git before unfortunately

Can someone please point me to an example of the correct command-line to do that? From then on I'll sort the rest by myself, I promise, that would save me a lot of time and unnecessary troubles. Thank you very much.

Look up "git-cherry-pick".

Look up "git merge". Also you have to add the tree from kernel.org.

Mine looks like such.

git merge linux/linux-3.4.y

Hi mate, I am using your tools to build the images, thanks for that. I'll do

Thanks, I'll investigate both of your suggestions! Today it'll be a busy day.

No problem

You'll probably go with the suggestion after mine, git-cherry-pick is more to add one or a couple commits, rather than a whole mass of commits

Git-merge is for adding larger chunks of commits/merging branches, etc
