Put the patch name in ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec just before END OF PATCHES.
Run rpmbuild -bb kernel.spec
You will have the kernel rpm files in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64
The gotchas are left as an exercise for the reader (if you are a newbie, there will be lots of them). :-) And it's rough, there is a lot of optimization that I left out.
So it's a lot of work, but a great learning experience if you are up for it.
okay,i'll give it a shot sounds fun will get to learn something. Cant guarantee a completion data though.15-20 days should be enough i guess.
Maintaining a kernel isn't a one off event it's an ongoing process. The vast majority of the work is getting the initial build working but from there it's an ongoing process to keep it up to date to ensure your users aren't vulnerable to CVEs etc. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org
Ah,yes.Proposed the the above mentioned timeline for the initial build.I am ready to dedicate time to maintain it.
