[WIP] Create kernel-core and kernel-drivers subpackages

Josh Boyer jwboyer at fedoraproject.org
Mon Mar 17 19:13:54 UTC 2014


There are still some things I need to fix before this is really ready,
but in the spirit of release-early here is the current kernel.spec file
diff I have.  This does a few things.

Macros and %files:

1) Moves the kernel_reqprovconf macro down a bit and makes the plain
"kernel" package a meta-package

2) All actual kernel builds are now done via the kernel_variant_package
macro.  If no variant is given, it builds kernel-core.  Otherwise it
builds kernel-<variant>-core.

3) Adds a kernel_drivers_package subpackage macro that
kernel_variant_package expands and includes.  Also defines the proper
post and postun scriptlets.

4) Makes the kernel_variant_files macro use file lists for the
kernel-core and kernel-drivers subpackages.

File list generation:

The hunk in the middle is what generates the file lists that item 4
above uses.  It does

1) calls a script called "filter_modules" that goes through and removes
the modules we don't consider important enough to be in kernel-core in
the RPM_BUILD_DIR.

2) calls depmod on the now filtered tree, as kernel-core should be
self-contained.

3) Restores the module directory from a copy we've made prior, so that
RPM can do it's package assembly later.

4) Save off the file lists in the proper location for later use and
cleanup.

TODO:

Right now this is what has been building in my COPR for the past week.
It works well on x86_64 (which is all I've tested), and i686 builds but
I know it's broken on ARM.  To finish it up, I need:

1) Review from you all.

2) A per-arch filter list, because the existing one that works on
x86_64 leaves modules in kernel-core on ARM that lack their
dependencies.  Bad.

3) Further testing on all arches.

4) To make the depmod call fatal to the build.  Without making this
fatal we run the risk of pushing kernel-core packages that aren't
self-contained and that seems pretty bad to me.  It shouldn't be a huge
issue as I would think most of the breakage is going to come from merge
window stuff and settle down after that.
