Subject: Ketchup 0.9.7 released Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel Date: 2006-04-24 17:14:28 GMT (3 years, 10 weeks, 1 day, 15 hours and 19 minutes ago) Ketchup 0.9.7 is available at: http://selenic.com/ketchup/ The latest version includes several important bugfixes including a safety check that avoids accidentally unpacking entire kernels in directories that aren't empty. Ketchup is an extremely handy tool for doing various things with kernels. For example: $ ketchup -s 2.6 # find the latest kernel version 2.6.16.9 $ ketchup -d linux 2.6 # install it Creating target directory linux None -> 2.6.16.9 Unpacking linux-2.6.14.tar.bz2 Applying patch-2.6.15.bz2 Applying patch-2.6.16.bz2 Downloading patch-2.6.16.9.bz2 [...] Downloading patch-2.6.16.9.bz2.sign [...] Verifying signature... [...] Applying patch-2.6.16.9.bz2 $ cd linux $ make kernelversion Makefile:476: .config: No such file or directory 2.6.16.9 $ ketchup 2.6-mm # switch to the latest -mm kernel 2.6.16.9 -> 2.6.17-rc1-mm3 Applying patch-2.6.16.9.bz2 -R Applying patch-2.6.17-rc1.bz2 Downloading 2.6.17-rc1-mm3.bz2 [...] Downloading 2.6.17-rc1-mm3.bz2.sign [...] Verifying signature... [...] Applying 2.6.17-rc1-mm3.bz2 It's also useful for automating tasks, for instance downloading the latest broken-out -mm patches: $ wget -c `ketchup -u 2.6-mm | sed "s/.bz2/-broken-out.tar.bz2/"` (It's also good on fries.) -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. |
