Where can I read up on the release process? For example, I have a

of patches (2.6.x etc) and a couple of files called "final" and one with
a bk2 in it. There was mention of an rpmbuild command. In what order
and how do I apply the patches and/or tarballs?
Where are the patches available to update me to the new kernel?
