The patches are sorted into subdirectories by kernel version. The last "-<n>" is the revision of the patchset for the given kernel. Usually it is just "-1", but sometimes there is more than one patchset for a given kernel. 2.6.9-rc4 + newer: ================== The All-<version>.diff.gz file is the "all-in-one" patch which containes all others, i.e. usually you have to apply just that one. The other files are the individual patches with the exception of "series" which specifies the order of the patches. That file can be used by the quilt patch management scripts. You probably don't need these unless you are a kernel hacker. http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt [ hmm, seems to be dated ... ] older kernel revisions: ======================= The patch-<version>-kraxel file is the "all-in-one" patch which containes all others, i.e. usually you have to apply just that one. The <nr>_<name>-<version>.diff files are the individual patches building the big one, that are the patches I usually submit for inclusion into the standard kernel. You probably don't need these unless you are a kernel hacker.
