Howto for maintaining the linux-lowlatency kernel

The plan for maintaining kernels 12.04 and 12.10 is to keep the source at github, and have apw at UTK pull from there.

The plan for 13.04 is to use a PPA at launchpad (owned by ubuntustudio-kernel team)

Prerequisites

If doing maintenance from a ubuntu machine 

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-dev-tools debhelper

Maintain multiple releases using Linus tree as reference

Clone Linus main linux tree into a bare git reporitory. 

git clone --bare git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

Clone lowlatency tree using Linus tree as reference (using apw trees as examples) 

git clone --reference linux.git git://kernel.ubuntu.com/apw/ubuntu-precise-lowlatency.git
git clone --reference linux.git git://kernel.ubuntu.com/apw/ubuntu-quantal-lowlatency.git
git clone --reference linux.git git://kernel.ubuntu.com/apw/ubuntu-raring-lowlatency.git
