    I keep my src tree updated with cvsup, but I start to accumulate
    patches to kernel or programs that I'd like to include automatically
    each time I recompile the kernel (pretty often) or I do a "make world"
    (much less often).

    Those are usually patches that have been already put forward to the
    attention of the maintainers with a send-pr, but got forgotten or
    simply ignored possibly because considered not interesting.

    At the moment I simply manually copy the modified files into the
    source tree before recompiling, but, of course, next time I do a
    cvsup, the changes are gone, requiring me to repeat the process next
    time I compile (and likely forgetting some stuff).

    Is there already any pre-canned way to include those patches at
    compile time? (A parallel source tree, for instance.)

    Cheers,
