[opensuse-buildservice] Build a kernel driver for SLES11
I build a package with a kernel driver for SLES11 on obs, but the problem is that I did not discover how to add the update repository for SLES11. So the package that I build for SLES11 it's quiet unusable, because it's for a kernel release different from the updated kernel. It's possible to add the SLES11 or SLES11SP1 update repository ? How I can do that ?

Hi Not possible as updates are by subscription. You need to build locally from the src rpm if the kernel is updated. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.32.19-0.3-default up 2:32, 5 users, load average: 1.14, 1.13, 0.51 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 260.19.06 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

There's no public SLE update repo but, afaik, the kernels should stay compatible between SPs so building against the SLE repo and the different service packs should make you happy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

If that is the case, there was an incompatible update, which would violate the SLE policy. Can you prove that this is the case ? -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Hi The way I read the OP was that whilst the build service provides the default kernel (as shipped with SLE), there is no SLE/update repository, therefore any kernel modules built don't match their running kernel except during a default install. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.32.19-0.3-default up 18:29, 3 users, load average: 0.22, 0.20, 0.08 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 256.53 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

If you build a Kernel module package (KMP) in the build service, it should work for all kernels released during a single SLES service pack. The version differences in module file locations (e.g. /lib/modules/2.6.blah-blah) are handled during package installation. See ftp://sdk.provo.novell.com/ndk/kmpm/ for instructions for SLES9, SLES10, and SLES11.
