[opensuse-factory] making kernel rpms
Hello, Kernel support for a couple of Genesi and Genesi related PPC board is improving all the time (just as all parts of the Linux kernel). We thought, that by providing slightly modified kernels, user experience could be improved. For example, a patch almost doubling HDD performance on the EFIKA appeared right after openSUSE 11.0 was relesed. The proper way of doing this would be providing kernel rpms. The readme in the kernel source package is a bit lacking: "Instead of building binary kernels by hand, you can also build one of the kernel-$FLAVOR packages using RPM." 'make rpm' in the kernel source directory did not bring the expected results. And I could not find a matching document for it in he openSUSE wiki. So, my question is, what is the proper way to create a modified kernel rpm based openSUSE kernel sources + custom patches?

See /usr/share/doc/packages/kernel-source/README.SUSE for an explanation. It's part of the kernel-source package Philipp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
