Summary: Incorrect instructions to rebuild a fedora kernel
Product: Fedora Core
Version: fc5
Platform: i686
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: normal
Component: fedora-release-notes
AssignedTo: jkeating(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: wet(a)timeware.at
QAContact: qa-dept-list(a)redhat.com
CC: relnotes(a)fedoraproject.org
Description of problem:
Release notes from
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/release-notes-ISO/#id3092710
Section 8.6 Preparing for Kernel Development
tell me:
Prepare the kernel sources using the commands:
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec
The kernel source tree is located in the
${HOME}/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-<version>/ directory.
This is not correct for FC5; when following the procedure the directory
.../BUILD/kernel-<version>/ contains:
# ls -p rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.17/
Config.mk linux-2.6.17.i686/ vanilla/ xen/ xen-20060708/
So I assume the kernel "sources" of a version I want to build myself are in one
these subdirectories, but this is different from the current wording of the
release notes.
The box a few lines above "Do Not Build Packages as Super-user" has the
directory (almost) correct:
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-<version>/linux-<version>
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
