$ ./kpatchup-0.03 -s 2.6-bk 2.6.4-rc1-bk4 $ ./kpatchup-0.03 -s 2.6 2.6.3 $ ./kpatchup-0.03 -s 2.6-pre 2.6.4-rc2 $ latest-kernel-version --probe 2.6.4-rc2
I might be misunderstanding the options, but 'kpatchup -s' I think is limited to giving the latest version of a single tree, while 'latest-kernel-version' will look at several different trees. This is a tiny problem for kpatchup because it treats 2.6, 2.6-bk, and 2.6-pre as separate trees. For my use, I just want the latest snapshot, whether it's a bk snapshot, or one of the real point releases.
What I'm doing to work around it is this: kpatchup `latest-kernel-version --probe`
