[...] In the past month or so I've put some effort into making it easier to do what you're looking to do. The first set of patches remove almost all of the @VAR@ processing in favor of using RPM variables. The result is that you'll be able to add a new flavor by simply changing the %build_flavor variable definition in the beginning of the file and adding a kernel configuration file.
That change is relatively straightforward, and it already makes is a lot easier to create a new flavor by hand: The current kernel-binary.spec.in already contains a %build_flavor definition; we only need to use this definition instead of the old @NAME@ and @FLAVOR@ (which become kernel-%build_flavor and %build_flavor).
Can't we simply change that, even right now?
Sure. Most of the changes I want to implement we could do right now. Michal reviewed them and was fine accepting them. I just didn't want to change them at the 11th hour of the enterprise timetable. I have the patches queued against my v2.6.28-staging tree. One thing I'm not certain of is of the requirements of the build service vs. rpmbuild. I've been using rpmbuild to test. My initial testing with the build service ended up with broken dependencies on kernel-source = MACRO, etc. Now I understand that the build service has a different way of handling that dependency, but I don't know if it can handle macros in Name:. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklyu60ACgkQLPWxlyuTD7JAiwCfWItvADialXlPUy4vWNSzi7Ns EuoAnRtITpJG4rqUicMCr8Acw/1VJXt8 =dWC+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
