qlnx-psets 0.5

qlnx-psets 0.5 is a good tool which might help you a lot in your work. It is actually born to help dealing with the nice data generated by the combination of bkcvs repository and cvsps.

The data that is dumped on the CVS repository, while being a complete mirror of the real bk repository, it is quite difficult to work out due to the limitations of CVS in the operations.

Those typically leads to checking out e given version (on a patch set base) and adding/removing patch sets. The qlnx-psets tool uses cvsps to collect a log and a series of patch sets, and it uses such data to generate user configurations. It might be worth to be noticed, that the qlnx-psets tool can be used on any CVS repository, not only Linux kernels (with some limitations regarding kernel-version -> patchset mapping).

Instructions:

• To start using qlnx-psets, you need to start by installing cvsps.
• Download the package and install it by following the instructions given by the authors.
• The whole process starts by rsyncing the bkcvs CVS repository from kernel.org
