I want to build a custom kernel with some modules and patches added, and package this as an rpm to install. I have tried adding it like building the kernel from the git source, but it doesnt have the modules. I think it might have to do with the .spec file. I added the patches to the rpm, and I modified the source tarball so it has the modules added. I ran ``` dnf install -y fedora-packager git curl pesign ncurses-devel libkcapi libkcapi-devel libkcapi-static libkcapi-tools libbpf fedpkg rpmdevtools dwarves rpmdev-setuptree cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
koji download-build --arch=src kernel-${FEDORA_KERNEL_VERSION} rpm -Uvh kernel-${FEDORA_KERNEL_VERSION}.src.rpm
cd /root/rpmbuild/SPECS dnf -y builddep kernel.spec
cp /path/to/driver /path/to/kernel source tarbal from spec/drivers/staging tar -cJf ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-version.tar.xz /path/to/kernel/src rpmbuild -bb --with baseonly --without debug --without debuginfo --target=x86_64 kernel.spec ``` I know that I install some extra useless dependencies. When I do the same process to the kernel sources, but instead use make to build the vanilla kernel git, the modules are built. I noticed this https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelStagingPolicy, but I dont know if it is related. The necessary drivers are in drivers/staging, and I added the sources to the spec file. Can someone please help me make this modifications into a kernel rpm.
