I know that it looks big, but the reason is that I had to "remake" it in order to make it apply cleanly against the kernel tree. This is what I did: * unpack kernel source to dir linux-source-2.6.18 * unpack kernel source to dir linux-source-2.6.18.o * Apply previous version of kernel-patch-openvz * Apply the extra fix * Make diff between linux-source-2.6.18.o and linux-source-2.6.18 The diff is different because it is totally remade. The reason why I can not simply append the fix to the old file is that this file is patched already, and then the --dry-run option that make-kpkg uses do not work. Do this make sense to you or do I have to fix this in some other obscure way?
