- (for example, patch-2.6.xx.y), note that these "dot-releases" are
- not incremental and must be applied to the 2.6.xx base tree. For
- example, if your base kernel is 2.6.12 and you want to apply the
- 2.6.12.3 patch, you do not and indeed must not first apply the
- 2.6.12.1 and 2.6.12.2 patches. Similarly, if you are running kernel
- version 2.6.12.2 and want to jump to 2.6.12.3, you must first
- reverse the 2.6.12.2 patch (that is, patch -R) _before_ applying
- the 2.6.12.3 patch.
