It's a feature that the source rpm starts with the pristine kernel source and applies individual patches. The patches don't take up that much space, certainly not more space than the kernel source itself. (Of course, I haven't actually checked that since I updated to FC6, so if I'm wrong please correct me so I can eat my crow while it's still warm. :) > In any case just trying to use a for loop to apply the patches fails > (as I assumed it would) since there must be some order necessary > in applying these things. > > So how do you do it? > Is there a script somewhere that applies them in the correct order? Yep, rpmbuild will take care of it for you.
