Thanks for the explanation warthog9. Didn't realise there was so much
going on behind the scenes.

The only information that KernelCheck needs to capture from kernel.org
is version numbers. Everything else like filenames, download URLs, etc
is generated in code, because that kind of information is pretty easy to
predict once we have the version numbers we need.

In its current state (version 1.2.5), KernelCheck is designed to find a
stable 2.6 kernel base with the highest release version number
(presently 2.6.31), then give the user the choice to pick what patch
(currently: stable 2.6.31.4, mainline 2.6.32-rc5, snapshot
2.6.32-rc5-git1, etc) to apply to that code base. There is the ability
to download any previous stable 2.6 kernel from a list. Older 2.4
kernels aren't even looked at.

Now, I haven't used or worked on KernelCheck in a while, but I believe
linux-next is only being looked at in the experimental version of
KernelCheck. Which isn't due for release for quite some time.
