How do you tell which patches are applied to a particular kernel?
from Alan Cox: "unpack the source rpm"
What does this mean? Because the source is GPL - you can determine which patches a particular distribution uses by:
rpm2cpio foo.rpm | cpio -idmv --no-absolute-filenames
and then look at the patches directory. Voila - the mystery of the redhat distro is gone.
