To run this bash script you need in your path these programs:

bash (or sh)
patch

and you may need also:

gzip
bzip2

This script is useful to go in sync with my aa kernels.
To apply my kernel version called 2.2.13pre15aa1 just do this:

mkdir 2.2.13pre15aa1-patches
cd 2.2.13pre15aa1-patches
wget --retr-symlinks -A\*.gz ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/kernels/v2.2/2.2.13pre15aa1/\*
cd ..

At this point you'll have the directory 2.2.13pre15aa1-patches filled
with the patches necessary to build the 2.2.13pre15aa1 tree.

Then go inside the 2.2.13pre15 sources and run:

apply-patches.sh ../2.2.13pre15aa1-patches

and your 2.2.13pre15 tree will be converted to a 2.2.13pre15aa1 tree.

Example:

andrea@alpha:~/kernel > ls 2.2.13pre15aa1-patches/
