Oh yes; this was just FYI, not a patch
Anyhow - future patches will hopefully come from :
git diff -p v485..


And in case it wasn't clear - the 'new' patches are needed to allow (reasonably) clean consecutive patch application. There's some fuzz but...

There are a fair few files in the git repo that were patched in but never patched out:
Only in hijack/arch/arm/special: empeg_ani.h.hj

Only in hijack: junk
Only in hijack: reboot

and buildit (which is useful BTW) is not always in the patches.

I think what I'll do is backup to v484. Then untar your v485 package and take it from there...
