picking apart a source package (regards kernel mremap() patch)

2004-01-21 Thread debl
After some google-ing, I found the recent mremap() kernel patch. I've tacked it to the end of this message just for completeness. How could I have gotten this information using Debian tools and/or infrastructure (rather than google etc.)? I tried: apt-get update apt-get source kernel-sourc
