>From my experience upgrading a small package, there are some HUNK errors when applying the available patch for the new package. To fix the HUNK errors, some manual works are needed to manually edit patches so that those patches will apply cleanly to the new package. The developers maybe so busy, because editing patches for large package, such as kernel, require a lot of time and works. If you are interested in upgrading kernel, why don't you try to manually edit all patches available, so that the patches can be applied cleanly. If you are succeeded with editing all patches available for kernel 3.10.49 and applied to 3.10.57 cleanly, you can submit it here to see if the main OpenWrt developers will be glad and accept your work. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
