i've installed/updated to latest -factory. i've installed latest kernel & xen, rpm -qa kernel\* xen\* xen-doc-pdf-3.2.1_16881_01-11 xen-3.2.1_16881_01-11 kernel-source-2.6.25.4-2 xen-libs-3.2.1_16881_01-11 kernel-xen-2.6.25.4-2 xen-tools-3.2.1_16881_01-11 xen-doc-html-3.2.1_16881_01-11 xen-devel-3.2.1_16881_01-11 kernel-default-2.6.25.4-2 trying to find/get the source for kernel-xen, zypper install kernel-xen-source Reading installed packages... 'kernel-xen-source' not found. Nothing to do. zypper source-install kernel-xen Reading installed packages... Problem: nothing provides requested srcpackage:kernel-xen = 2.6.25.4-2 Have you enabled all requested repositories ? Solution 1: do not ask to install a solvable providing srcpackage:kernel-xen = 2.6.25.4-2 Choose the above solution using '1' or cancel using 'c' [1/C]: where are the kernel-xen sources? thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] review: Solarflare patches
by Jan Beulich 19 May '08

19 May '08

Parts of the first patch (the actual network driver) are in 2.6.26-rc1, but this one handles more hardware, and without the resource drivers it's not useful for the special virtualization purposes that FATE#303479 is about. Jan

[opensuse-kernel] what's up with BuildRequires: kernel-dummy
by Hans-Peter Jansen 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hi, what's up with kernel rpm specs containing: %if ! 0%{?opensuse_bs} BuildRequires: kernel-dummy %endif When I build my kernels based on your specs, I just kill those lines. Anybody care to explain, what's their business? While at it, what about :25,309s/2.6.25.3/%version/g in kernel-source.spec and a similar change in the others as well. Sure, other lines need adjusting on the release change as well, but that way, revision changes don't need adjusting all over..

[opensuse-kernel] /src vs. *-source

hi, can you explain me the difference between http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Kernel%3A/HEAD/openSUSE_Facto… http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Kernel%3A/HEAD/openSUSE_Facto… and http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Kernel%3A/HEAD/openSUSE_Facto… i think that the first two are with special patches for i586 and x86_64 but is the last one a general one, wich compiles on every arch? dont think so?! could anyone please explain or give me a link to Linux_Standard_Base if there is one thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] opensuse 11.0 kernel patch justification needed from you
by Greg KH 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hi all, As I'm going to be the one trying to manage the 11.0 kernel release, I figured it was time to take a look at all of the patches we have in our tree, and see why they are not upstream already. So, here's a breakdown of all 228 patches in our "normal" kernel tree (I'm ignoring the -rt tree right now, that's just crazy at the moment...) I'd like all of the developers here to at least respond with a reason why their patches are in the tree and not in mainline already. If they patch will show up in 2.6.25, let us know, and we can properly mark it as such. If it's a feature that isn't upstream, and it isn't obvious why, please let us know. So, here goes, broken down by developer: Build system stuff that we need for building kernels patches.rpmify/buildhost patches.rpmify/cloneconfig.diff patches.rpmify/rpm-kernel-config Suse specific kernel markings: patches.suse/supported-flag patches.suse/suse-ppc64-branding (gotta love this one...) Xen stuff: 40+ patches. Yeah, we all know why they aren't upstream, oh well... Apparmor stuff: 48 patches JJ, any plan on getting these into mainline? I saw a posting a while ago with them to lkml, but they didn't go into -mm and I never saw any feedback, nor a repost.

Or are they needed for a kmp? Is it still worth hanging on to this as upstream development is now dead?
