Yesterday I build the latest git, version 1.6.1.1. for Ubuntu Intrepid on my PPA. This morning when I wanted to upgrade my own machine, I ran into a small problem. It turns out Launchpad has signed my repository and in order to upgrade you’ll need to add the key to the trusted apt key list.
I use git quite a lot, for my plugin development and for kernel compiling. I have been creating packages of the latest version for Ubuntu for quite a while. Today I decided to make these packages available to the public by using the Launchpad PPA repository.

In a previous article I addressed how to compile a kernel for Ubuntu Intrepid using git and in a follow up article I explained how to compile a new release if you already compiled your own custom kernel using git. The upgrade article was written if the kernel upgrade was one where the only ABI number changed was the last one.
In this article I’ll explain how you can update your previously compiled custom kernel to a newer version, if you used git. This article won’t touch an upgrade of kernel 2.6.27 to 2.6.28.
Updates:
Jan 9, 2009: Added git add to the “commit your changes” section.

Previously I wrote an article on how to compile a custom kernel for Ubuntu Intrepid, it used the apt-get method for getting the kernel source. If you prefer to use git to get the latest kernel source you can use this post. Most of this post is a copy of the previous post but to make it easier to follow the instructions I decided to write up everything in this post as well.
Updates:
Jan 8, 2009: Added git add to the “commit the changes” section.
Dec 11th: Added installation of needed packages.
Nov 27th: Added command to change to intrepid directory.
Oct 31st: I changed some steps in the section Getting ready for compilation to be prepare ourselves for compiling new releases of the kernel.
