I would like to test the new dvb-kernel, but I also don't want to be

patch if with for example patch-2.6.8-rc1-rc2.bz2.

So my question : does someone have a script that produce a "big" patch
against the current kernel from the dvb-kernel CVS ?

Hmm i think i don't understand fully what you want. You should be able to build kernel 2.6 Modules outside the kernel very simple. though i don't know if the dvb-kernel is prepared for it. For other kernel modules i have used successfully

I can't do this, because I don't want everything as modules...

What I want is a way to diff the kernel (the one I want to compile) and
dvb-kernel CVS, such that I can later patch -R to have a "clean" kernel
that could be upgraded with linux patches :-)
unpack the kernel source into 2 directories, run the makelinks script into one directory, diff the 2 directories.
