Hi All, A little confusion, I have existing Linux kernel version 4.5rc4 I wanted to upgrade my Linux kernel 4.5rc6, The preferred method is step by step patch,first apply patch-4.5rc5 and then patch-4.5rc6, Then recompile the kernel. Is this is the right approach? Or am I missing out something? -- -- Regards, Anil Nair

If you clone the mainline git repo you could simply pull the changes each time and then recompile.

You didn't say how you get your current Linux Kernel ? Through tar.gz package from kernel.org or git clone from the mainline git repo!
If you download from kernel.org, redownload another version and compile. If you use git, just to git pull and get you to the latest version! Is this is the right approach? Or am I missing out something?
