NAME

6       ketchup - Utility to update the kernel source
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ketchup [options] <ver>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  tool  synchronises a local kernel tree with a desired kernel ver‐
13       sion and patch set from a kernel.org mirror. The default requires a GPG
14       key  on  your keyring, to verify the identity of the patches and source
15       archives. Entire kernel images are not downloaded unless necessary,  so
16       bandwidth  is  saved.   Patches are applied and removed as necessary to
17       attain the requested version.

CONFIGURATION

85       Ketchup will read files named .ketchuprc in $HOME  and  in  the  target
86       kernel directory, with the kernel directory taking precedence.
87
88       A  .ketchuprc  file  uses  the  Python syntax and may set the following
89       variables:
90
91       default_tree
92
93              The default_tree option specifies the  kernel  version  to  work
94              with if one is not given on the command line.
95
96       precommand
97
98              The precommand option specifies a command to run before synchro‐
99              nising the kernel tree to the required version.
100
101       postcommand
102
103              The postcommand option specifies a command to run after synchro‐
104              nising the kernel tree to the required version.
