[opensuse-kernel] x86_64 space consumption

I understand that capabilities grow, and variety of hardware grows, but some differences among distros are a puzzle. Here are selected size differences: OS 11.4 OS 13.1 OS 15.0 OS TW F30 Deb 10 Kernel Version 3.0.101 3.12.67 4.12.14 4.19.12 4.19.13 4.19.37 /boot/vmlinuz 4.7M 6.1M 6.8M 7.8M 8.3M 5.0M /boot/initrd 6.6M 6.9M 8.3M 8.7M 15.5M 7.2M /lib/modules/ 132.7M 152.7M 257.1M 269.0M 62.5M 252.9M 1-Has anyone upstream or sideways done or announced anything intended to shrink installed module sizes by omitting various classes of rarely useds or neededs, or otherwise, in general use distros? 2-Is the SLE connection to kernels in Leap responsible for extra modules, some that otherwise wouldn't be included in a FOSS distro? 3-How does Fedora get away with so small an installed module size in /lib/? 4-How does Debian get away with so much smaller /boot/vmlinuz, and not so much either in its initrd? All the above are using defaults for whatever the initrds include. How to tell whether hostonly is enabled I don't know how to tell when there is no dracut config to be found in /etc/ anywhere. Fedora has a very much larger extra vmlinuz-0 and initramfs-0 pair used for Grub rescue modes. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-kernel] Compiling Kernel:Stable kernel-default on OBS -- "version mismatch" with just-built kernel-source ?
by PGNet Dev 07 May '19

07 May '19

I'm building a Kernel:stable instance -- as closely as possible, a project clone of the Kernel:stable repo -- that I can patch, etc locally in my home: instance. It's been generally well behaved. Intermittently -- like, now -- I get a 'failed' build, only of the dependent kernel-default pkg, https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:pgnd:Kernel:stable ; its parent kernel-source build fine. But, intermittently -- like, now -- I get a 'failed' build, only of the dependent kernel-default pkg; its parent kernel-source builds OK. The build log shows the fail as a 'Kernel release mismatch', https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:pgnd:Kernel:stable/k… ... [ 58s] ++ make -s kernelrelease ARCH=x86 --output-sync -j8 [ 60s] + krel=5.0.8-21.g7bd8353-default [ 60s] + '[' 5.0.8-21.g7bd8353-default '!=' 5.0.9-21.g7bd8353-default ']' [ 60s] + echo 'Kernel release mismatch: 5.0.8-21.g7bd8353-default != 5.0.9-21.g7bd8353-default' [ 60s] Kernel release mismatch: 5.0.8-21.g7bd8353-default != 5.0.9-21.g7bd8353-default [ 60s] + exit 1 [ 60s] error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.kow8W6 (%prep) ... At the time of the fail, kernel-source _had_ built successfully; packages _were_ available as v5.0.9x, https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/home:pgnd:Kernel:stable/kernel-… As I understand it, kernel-default is simply derived from my obs instance's kernel-source, https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:pgnd:Kernel:stable/kernel… <link project="home:pgnd:Kernel:stable" package="kernel-source" cicount="copy" /> To rebuild the entire project, I exec osc wipebinaries home:pgnd:Kernel:stable osc rebuildpac --all home:pgnd:Kernel:stable I thought that's sufficient to clean + rebuild all from scratch ... but it simply re-failed. Other than from a build remnant _oustide_ my OBS build root, I can't see where the "mismatched" v5.0.*8* is originating. What do I need to do to eliminate/avoid this FAIL, & ensure that my kernel-default builds are in-sync with, and using, the parent kernel-source sources? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org
