Gah, you are right. The code in kernel/linux is wrong. So, I've changed the way the Linux kernel does its checks, with the following in mind: Type | Extract | Patch ----------------------+---------+------- Pre-installed headers | N | N custom directory | N | N custom tarball | Y | N mainstream tarball | Y | Y > Personally, I dont think anyone would want, or reasonably expect, a > custom component to be patched, so I'm happy to skip CT_PATCH for > custom components altogether. Yes, that's the reasoning. I see that "custom location" thinggy as "I want to test my devel branch" of sorts. I will apply this to the other components: Type | Extract | Patch ----------------------+---------+------- custom directory | N | N custom tarball | Y | N mainstream tarball | Y | Y Regards, Yann E.
