1. install the package(s) kernel-patch- for the version(s) you need

2. look in the files
 /usr/src/kernel-patches/all//debian/series/*
   for a list of patches that are applied to get the corresponding Debian
   kernel tree;
 "+" means patch will be applied,
 "-" means patch will be applied in reverse
 "X" has special meaning: the named file will be deleted when
 building official Debian kernel-source packages

3. the patches themselves are located in
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all//debian/*

4. if you have an unpacked kernel tree, you can switch it forward and
   back between the revisions of the Debian kernel tree as given by the
   sequence files, by running
 /usr/src/kernel-patches/all//apply/debian 
   where version is the upstream kernel version and  is the
   Debian kernel tree revision you would like to reproduce.

These steps should apply to at least 2.4.27, though they may also be
valid for other versions.

Hope this helps,
Mirko

I see the changelog but I do not see the applied_patches .
However, I found the packages 'kernel-patch-'

uccellina:src!85> dpkg -l | grep kernel | grep patches
ii  kernel-patch-d 2.4.24-3   Debian patches to Linux 2.4.24
ii  kernel-patch-d 2.6.7-4Debian patches to Linux 2.6.7
ii  kernel-patch-d 2.6.8-8Debian patches to Linux 2.6.8

What I would like really, is something like applied_patches that would
explicitely name the patches, i.e. file names of the patches applied.

TIA.
wbr,
Lukas

Hello Lukas,
Quick answer:
you can get the information you whant in the distributed tarball
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.x.x.tar.bz2
For example, in the /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9
there are files with explicit name which may contain what you want:
Debian.src.changelog
applied_patches
hth,
Jerome

[Lukas Ruf]

Dear all,

how can I find out which patches were applied to kernels as
distributed with Debian?

Thanks in advance.
