I propose that we make kernel-docs a linked package to the kernel-source package and BuildRequires the kernel-source package. The documentation can be generated with a make -C $SRC O=$PWD instead, negating the need to copy _anything_. Making it a linked package means that the version numbers get set automatically by mkspec. Right now, the kernel-docs package is version 2.6.3 but built against whatever kernel-source is in the repo.
definitely a good idea. I was part of those that started this package and at that time I did the copying around of the sources to be able to patch things whenever "make docs" broke because some source file processor was not able to grok the source code anymore. If this is more visible to the kernel hackers (which I assume it will by being in the same source directory) these issues can be fixed directly instead of hacking around "postmortem" ...
Due to the way the kotd scripts work (no support for dependent builds), it won't be built as part the kotd. How long does it take to generate the docs? Maybe we could build it directly from kernel-source.spec. But let's import it to the kernel git first and then discuss possible improvements.
I wonder if there are ways that we can creatively work on dependent builds. The kernel binaries should be dependent on kernel-source as well, and mbuild is the only reason they're not. The build service can handle it. People using rpmbuild can use it. It's mbuild that's the issue. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkshLNQACgkQLPWxlyuTD7JEfQCgj42TmZ14LIVwKL9Qfe0Bhyo4 Oz0An1KiJyMRSx+ebt5rRL57ACvPqYbM =fQFo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
