Patch cleanup/Kernel Versions: msg#00256

Subject: Patch cleanup/Kernel Versions
Hi all,

since I can not help much in IET development (My knowledge of the kernel and of C forbids me touching this ;-) I still found a place where I could be usefull:

What about a "Patched source download machine":
- Chose your IET version
- Chose your kernel version
- Click "Download":
   - Source is patched to match kernel
   - create .tgz
   - Download
- Click "Info"
- Get feedback if people have been (un)able to compile and/or run selected source on selected kernel
- Click "Feedback"
   - Feed the DB behind "Info"

I guess this could attract a lot of people who run stock distributions and would like to use IET but are scared by the patching process (At least this would have been true for me 2 years ago or so ...)

Any ideas?

Reagrds, Eugen

BTW:
While I am not an AIX user, I am deeply impressed by the way the AIX-Problem was handled. This is MUCH more than any commercial vendor would deliver even for big bucks. Cudos, everyone!
