[ANNOUNCE] ketchup 0.5 (formerly kpatchup)

[Matt Mackall]

ketchup is a script that automatically patches between kernel
versions, downloading and caching patches as needed, and automatically
determining the latest versions of several trees. Example usage:

 $ ketchup 2.6-mm
 2.6.3-rc1-mm1 -> 2.6.5-mm4
 Applying 2.6.3-rc1-mm1.bz2 -R
 Applying patch-2.6.3-rc1.bz2 -R
 Applying patch-2.6.3.bz2
 Applying patch-2.6.4.bz2
 Applying patch-2.6.5.bz2

 Applying 2.6.5-mm4.bz2


New in this version by popular demand:

- name change kpatchup -> ketchup
- automatic signature verification
- works with older versions of Python

Currently it defaults to trying to use gpg, which means you must have
gpg installed and the appropriate keys in your keyring. You can
disable this with the -g or --no-gpg options.

Tiny feature request, could you add support for untarring base trees too
so all you'd specify is ketchup 2.6.6 and it'd look for a base tree in
$KETCHUP_ARCH if the current working directory isn't a kernel tree.

Thanks again for the script
