Hi, Section 4.2 from https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official , until test-patches should work. For the test-patches script, use the flavour and a featureset as argument, when you invoke it, like this : # debian/bin/test-patches -f amd64 -s none /path/to/0001-Input-elantech-disable-elan-i2c-for-L480.patch This will apply the patch on the fly, configure the kernel for amd64 and build a version with a special changelog entry and a special suffix version dedicated to the test version you generate. In case of troubles, I can provide another way, from git with few commands. Hope this helps, Regards, Romain
