[...] As the UsrMerge is completed now this additional patch also changes the location to /usr/lib/modules. Needs https://github.com/openSUSE/rpm-config-SUSE/pull/42 and https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/887990
Note that the rpm/* stuff is common among many releases including SLE12 and SLE15 (managed in packaging git branch), hence unconditionally replacing to /usr/lib is no-go. It has to be handled with some macro so that it's conditionally replaced only for TW.
OK so here is a patch that keeps /lib/modules on older releases. I managed to successfully build and boot it based on 5.13-rc5 with Leap 15.3 in kvm. Meanwhile 5.13-rc6 is in kerncvs. Rebased on that one, builds are running.
Thanks, this one looks much better. But, could you open a Bugzilla entry and give some information there? We need the proper information source that can be tracked in future for such a fundamental change. Since it's for TW, I don't think Jira is always required, but at least a Bugzilla entry would help in that manner.
Ah, sure. Sorry I fogot to add the reference to bug 1184804.
Yep, let's use that, as now we seem to have agreed on moving forward.
Will do so for next revision of the patch. Any other remarks?
As mentioned in another (internal) thread, the changes should be applied to packaging git branch, and it should be compatible with the old SLE -- so unconditionally moving out of /boot sounds a bit too adventurous for SLE, even if it would work somehow. I'm inclined for keeping the stuff in /boot at least for SLE12 and SLE15. thanks, Takashi
