This repository contains the CoreOS branch of Linux. A new branch is created for each kernel version the distribution is rebased onto. The currently shipped version is available in the [overlay repository]( https://github.com/coreos/coreos-overlay/tree/master/sys-kernel/coreos-sources/files). | ||

This repository is not used by the build process at all; it merely exists for generating patchsets that live in coreos-overlay. To add a patch, check out the branch you want to add a patch to (probably v${VERSION}-coreos), apply the patch, then run `git format-patch ${TAG}` where tag is the upstream kernel tag (no "-coreos"). This generates a set of patches that can be used by `./revbump.sh` script in the `coreos-sources` directory in the overlay. | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
git checkout v4.13.16-coreos | ||
|
||
<Apply and commit your patch> | ||
|
||
git format-patch v4.13.16 | ||
# check that the patches were generated correctly | ||
ls *.patch | ||
