[opensuse-arm] Build a downstream kernel in OBS
Hi, Is there a guide on how to build a downstream kernel in obs like a upstream genuine kernel? I have a CHIP allwinner R8 with debian but I would like to use opensuse instead. I found a link in the wiki to a script which is supposed to help with this (http://users.suse.com/~dmueller/contrib_kernel.sh) but like is dead to me. Thanks! -- Cheers

Hm, looks like users.suse.com does not want to talk to anyone outside of
the SUSE network. Hooray.
Either way, here's the script. You may need to adapt it a bit, as it's
been a while since I last used it. But overall it should still do what
you expect.

Why do you want a downstream kernel for that? Even the 4.11 kernel contains a sun5i-r8-chip.dts. Also note that you can use Kernel:HEAD (v4.13-rc2) or Kernel:linux-next repositories if necessary.

Mmmm, that's interesting. I didn't find any documentation regarding the support in mainline kernel and I supposed that support for it was lacking some bits. In fact I try to avoid downstream kernels like the plague because eveything else is much harder to get working. I will try with 4.11 and see what happens. Thanks! -- Cheers
