Rebuilding Kernel 3.8.13-bone62

I have cloned github.com:beagleboard/linux.git which has the following 3.8 branches:

`
remotes/origin/3.8
remotes/origin/3.8-green
remotes/origin/3.8.13-bone67-pruspeak
remotes/origin/3.8.13-bone69-bb-view-7
remotes/origin/3.8.13-bone71-input-polldev
remotes/origin/3.8.13-bone71-lsm303
remotes/origin/v3.8.13-bone86

`

The kernel and distribution I have inherited from other developers is:

$ uname -a Linux rti-a0f6fd4b07a3 3.8.13-bone62 #1 SMP Mon Aug 18 21:28:53 EDT 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux

I’d like to rebuild this kernel with an increase to the SPI buffer size but I don’t see a bone62 listed. Where can I find this or reconstruct it?

The reason I’m using this old kernel is that we have many systems in the field that have been running with this version and I’m trying to be conservative about changes.

Just follow this… changing the kernel version and ignoring the 2 patches

Thanks. I also found a tag (which didn’t list when I searched for bone62 on github under tags):

`
Squall: git tag | grep bone62
3.8.13-bone62

`

Yes it exists, but you'll be fighting even more issues to even use it.
(well unless you had a time machine..)

Just follow the gist, i get this same rebuild "3.8." question 2-3
times a week on average..

Will do. Thank you.

For what it is worth: That script worked extremely well. That was a big help.
