Re: Still alive?

Hi Joe !

By all means do the image with your kernel, but test it first and let
know how well it works.
Remember to name it so that it is clear, that it is for X50 and on what
kernel version, and that it is patched test version.
If you also could make a patch-file for the kernel about the patches you
possibly made, and a text file explaining for what they are.
(making a patch file: in linux console type diff --help and you see what
you can do (compare all files in the
changed source and the original source so, that the output is the
differences in a ed script format that will change the original as
patched version, I think and name it as whatname.patch. The output
format can be attchieved with --ed option, -r option makes it recursively
go thrue all subdirectories. To test the patch file copy the patch-file
to the original source directory and in
linux console type: patch -p1 --dry-run <
/path/to/kernelsource/whatname.patch
e.g. patch -pl --dry-run < /home/joe/hanheldskernel/touchscreenfix1.patch
If there is not reported problems with the dry run it is possible that
the patch works.
After actually using it without the --dry-run option if diff says the
resulting source is exactly like the one you are trying to create,
it's ok. Does anyone know to recommend any fancier diff options ? or
have the whole suitable command line figured out ?
