Dear,<div><br></div><div>I have a suggestion to page</div><div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>related to patch creation for Fedora 15.</div><div><br></div><div>First, on preparing the directory structure:</div><div><br></div><div><div>cp -r ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver/linux-2.6.$ver.$arch ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.orig</div>
<div>-cp -al ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.orig ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.new</div><div>+cp -a ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.orig ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.new</div><div>+</div>
<div>+cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver</div><div>+ln -s ../kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.orig/linux-2.6.$ver.$arch/ a</div><div>+ln -s ../kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.new/linux-2.6.$ver.$arch/ b</div></div><div><br></div><div>
Then on patch creation itself:</div><div><br></div><div><div>-cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD</div><div>-diff -uNrp kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.orig kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.new &gt; ../SOURCES/linux-2.6-my-new-patch.patch</div><div>+cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver</div>
<div>+diff -Naurp a b &gt; ../../SOURCES/linux-2.6-my-new-patch.patch</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The procedure for patch creation that is on the page did not work for Fedora 15, and I noticed that all patch files uses directory &quot;a&quot; for original code, and directory &quot;b&quot; for new code.</div>
