Looks like I'll discard plan A
Do you just want to build a reiserfs filesystem into the kernel? Then you could build just a KMP...
Looks like use Plan B..... - Or, branch the kernel-vanilla kernel, - add the patch to patches.addon.tar.bz2, - add it to "series.conf",checkin.
1. What steps are needed to branch the kernel-vanilla kernel to I presume a blank project. 2. To create patches.addon.tar.bz2 is this ok- # bunzip2 -v reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch.bz2 reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch.bz2: done
# tar -cvf patches.addon.tar reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch # bzip2 -v patches.addon.tar reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch patches.addon.tar: 5.317:1, 1.505 bits/byte, 81.19% saved, 2396160 in, 450702 out. reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch: 5.313:1, 1.506 bits/byte, 81.18% saved, 2394103 in, 450584 out. # bunzip2 -v patches.addon.tar.bz2 patches.addon.tar.bz2: done
What does this mean and what does it do -> add it to "series.conf" Have you a .spec file I could use to apply the patch to the kernel and build the new patched kernel Thanks Glenn
From the above it appears I need to branch a full kernel package,
I've been watching this thread slowly move forward because I have a KMP I want to publish from my home directory. It is a patched version of ext4. (It doesn't yet build). My hope was to publish just a higher versioned ext4.kmp by pulling in the ext4 source, patching it and compiling. patch the ext4 code and then compile just the one module. Is that right?
