[opensuse-kernel] where is -factory's kernel-xen *source* ?
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@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

There is, unfortunately, no kernel-xen-source package. It's kind of a sore spot. All the flavors, except Xen, are built from the same source tree. There are additional patches that we apply to the Xen tree, and then build it. As a result, they're not included in the kernel-source package. We do have a kernel-source.src.rpm that can be used to build the appropriate source tree, though. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkg0blIACgkQLPWxlyuTD7J+LwCdHSDik8Bd3ouzAEPc+aae9/n7 6NgAn3SGDY7k+zIRJ+rdlEESSevA3oPv =LuDj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

The patches are, yes. You can build the packages by grabbing the kernel-source SRPM, then cd'ing to %_sourcedir (/usr/src/packages/SOURCES, unless you've changed it) and doing rpmbuild - -bb kernel-xen.spec. That will apply the right set of patches and you'll end up with a xen kernel. To build a xen kernel-source, do this: echo "xen" > extra-symbols rpmbuild -bb kernel-source.spec To verify it's building the correct tree, make sure there's something like "Architecture symbol(s): x86_64 xen" in the first 10 lines of output. This will create a kernel-source package, but it will be fundamentally incompatible with the shipping kernel-source package. It's *definitely* a goal of ours to eliminate the need for multiple source packages for this very reason. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkg0hi0ACgkQLPWxlyuTD7L8vACfcu8PQLj0rrpUpW6+237FxSEC 0yEAoKcljtN6188+DC1A8K0lZdrhd2lV =2oTP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

that will give me a kernel-xen config'd as in the distro/release, yes? if so, i need to make config changes. so, i presume, i need to start with kernel-xen 'source',

This was the case for a while in older distributions. Meanwhile, kernel-xen is based on the same patches as all the other kernels, with the notable exception of the real-time kernel (kernel-rt and kernel-rt_debug). For all kernels except the real-time ones, kernel-source is the appropriate source package (and kernel-syms contains the modversions for building KMPs, if this is what you are after).

Not anymore, luckily.

Yes, the kernel-source.src.rpm package contains all the patches for creating any of our kernel source trees, even the real-time one. Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
