I can't take it anymore. Development on a new kernel flavor is just so complicated and rife with little things to "take care of" which are simply hindering development and making life a misery of little mistakes, and forgetful actions, and even when something comes out right, building an RPM includes untarring 250MB of source code just to tell me the config is bad within the first 4 files compiled or so.

Try the attached spec files as a base instead. kernel-source should work fine without alteration. kernel-default just needs the build_flavor macro changed to whatever you want to call it. These spec files, or something close to them, are going to be used in the next release.

The one thing that is really tiring me, though, is the layout of /usr/src/packages.

[snipped]

If not doing anything wrong, why on earth can't we split RPM sources into their own package directories in /usr/src/packages like

/usr/src/packages/kernel-source /usr/src/packages/kernel-whatever (yes of course it will duplicate files with the above but it's all compressed) /usr/src/packages/xorg-x11-libs

On my system, I use the following ~/.rpmmacros: %_sourcedir /home/jeffm/src/packages/%{name} %_specdir /home/jeffm/src/packages/%{name} %_builddir /home/jeffm/src/packages/BUILD This is an RPM thing, not a kernel package thing. Your best bet is to file a bug report. It should be easy to change the macros in /usr/lib/rpm/macros to something else - but that's not a decision the kernel teams make. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs # # spec file for package kernel-default (Version 2.6.29) # # Copyright (c) 2008 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany. # This file and all modifications and additions to the pristine # package are under the same license as the package itself. # # Please submit bugfixes or comments via http://bugs.opensuse.org/ # # norootforbuild %define using_buildservice 0%{?opensuse_bs} %define variant %if %using_buildservice # Strip off the build number ("y") from the "x.y" release number %define source_rel %(release=%release; echo ${release%.*}) %else # We don't have build numbers internally %define source_rel %release %endif # Don't use shell commands in build macros, this won't work outside of rpm %define build_flavor default %define build_kdump 0 %define build_xen 0 %define build_vanilla 0 %define build_ps3 0 %define srcversion 2.6.28 %define patchversion 2.6.29-rc1 # This works fine, but the build service won't expand it for security reasons #%define variant %(case %build_flavor in (rt|rt_*) echo -rt ;; (vanilla) echo -vanilla ;; esac) %if %{build_flavor} == "kdump" %define build_kdump 1 %endif %if %{build_flavor} == "xen" %define build_xen 1 %endif %if %{build_flavor} == "vanilla" %define build_vanilla 1 %endif %if %{build_flavor} == "ps3" %define build_ps3 1 %endif %(chmod +x %_sourcedir/{arch-symbols,guards,config-subst,check-for-config-changes,check-supported-list,built-in-where,modversions,symsets.pl}) %define arch_symbols %(%_sourcedir/arch-symbols %_target_cpu) %define symbols %(set -- %name kernel-%build_flavor $(case %build_flavor in (rt|rt_*) echo RT ;; esac) $([ -e %_sourcedir/extra-symbols ] && cat %_sourcedir/extra-symbols) ; echo $*) %define cpu_arch_flavor %(%_sourcedir/guards %symbols %arch_symbols < %_sourcedir/config.conf | grep '/%build_flavor$') # Define some CONFIG variables as rpm macros as well.

I can't take it anymore. Development on a new kernel flavor is just so complicated and rife with little things to "take care of" which are simply hindering development and making life a misery of little mistakes, and forgetful actions, and even when something comes out right, building an RPM includes untarring 250MB of source code just to tell me the config is bad within the first 4 files compiled or so.

The one thing that is really tiring me, though, is the layout of /usr/src/packages.

In the way SUSE has it, kernel-source, kernel-flavor and every other thing installed from an SRPM install into exactly the same directory. This has some effects that are annoying me to some degree I am not comfortable with

1) broken packages which maintainers are unwilling to fix which blithely untar every *.tar.bz2 in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES (xorg-x11-libs!)

2) kernel-source, kernel-flavor SRPMS overwrite each other if they are installed. ARGH!

3) kernel-flavor .spec file is actually in SOURCES and not SPECS when it gets installed. WHAT?

I really need to know, what kind of design decision is it that all RPMs get dumped into the same directory? Now, in a sane system like the /usr/share/doc/packages directory each package has it's basename in there. Each package is separate and self-contained. Docs for one do not go in the folder for docs for another.. :)

kernel-source SRPM is sufficient to install for _all_ kernel flavours. You do not need the kernel-<flavour> SRPMs. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
