I should have added this information to the release notes for 1.0.16,
better late than never. This is also on our web page under the patch
instruction section. One of goals of this change was to make it easier
to move from one release of JFS to another.
UPDATING LINUX-2.4.* TO THE LATEST JFS RELEASE
---------------------------------------------
JFS requires a few small changes to the kernel source tree in addition
the "core" jfs files which reside in linux/fs/jfs. Updating the
kernel source to the most recent release of JFS consists of one or two
steps.
STEP 1: patch "non-core" kernel files
-------------------------------------
If the kernel already contains some version of JFS, the non-core files
will already be compatible with the JFS core code. You can precede to
step 2.
If applying JFS to the kernel source for the first time, that is, to a
kernel which does not contain an older version of JFS, choose the the
kernel patch which most closely matches your kernel and apply it using
the patch command:
jfs-2.4.3-patch Apply to 2.4.2-ac2 - 2.4.4 kernel
jfs-2.4.5-patch Apply to 2.4.5 or 2.4.6 kernel
jfs-2.4.7-patch Apply to 2.4.7 - 2.4.16 kernel
jfs-2.4.17-patch Apply to 2.4.17 kernel
jfs-2.4.18-patch Apply to 2.4.18 kernel
Step 2: update "core" JFS files
-------------------------------
The core JFS files are most easily updated by untarring them from
jfs-2.4-VERSION.tar.gz.
Example:
--------
To apply the JFS patch to the 2.4.18 kernel in /usr/src/linux-2.4.18:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18
patch -p1 < /path/to/jfs-2.4.18-patch
tar -xzf /path/to/jfs-2.4-VERSION.tar.gz
For those keeping up-to-date with the latest released JFS code, an
incremental patch, jfs-2.4-PREV_VER-to-VERSION.patch.gz is also
available.
