Hi, I have two commits in my git repo which I would like to get merged: https://github.com/adrianschroeter/kernel-source.git 1) A config for ppc64le. The kernel will still not compile due to code problems, but I like to get it merged anyway to show where we are with our ppc64le port. The standard kernel script tools did not work for me, but the kernel build in openSUSE:Factory:PowerLE project does accept at least the config. 2) A new spec file to repackage the kernel in a way that it will get picked up by OBS VM builders. We need this for a number of reasons: * ppc64 little endian switch on big endian hosts * build jobs which require further kernel modules will be able to load them now, since te code stream does match the running kernel (eg. kiwi using LVM tools) * QA checks depending on the kernel * validation of our kernels in general, the entire distro will use the the distro kernel during building. The reason why I want to have this spec file as part of the kernel package is that it should be also branched, when someone is branching any kernel-* package. OBS does create branches for all local linked packages, so the new and modified kernel will be used also directly in this project branching the kernel. To be discussed: shall we create the initrd in a way avoiding root permissions? On the other hand, we do test our default mkinitrd tool this way. It broke often enough in the past ... -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian@suse.de SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
