[opensuse-buildservice] kmp compile questions. where to ask?
All, I'm thinking of putting a kernel module on OBS (in my home dir for the foreseeable future). Part of it is going to be a patched ext4 kernel module and then a brand new module. (ohsm). I don't even know if it is technically possible to publish a patched ext4 module and have it superseed the standard/released module. For now, I'm only talking about doing this for the 2.6.32 kernel (ie. KOTD). Where should I ask questions about this process? fyi: I've done a couple normal packages via OBS, so I think I know the basics, but a kmp is brand new to me.

first of all read this: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Kernel_Module_Packages_Manuals It is written for SLES 9-11, but should work similar on openSUSE. Afterwards either ther opensuse-kernel ml or the -packaging ml may be helpfull. bye adrian

Thanks Greg Hi Just grab a src rpm of a kmp and have a look at the spec file, here i one of mine I just did to flip a uvcvideo device (not my patch, just patched and built) http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.2&p=1&q=uvcvid...
