So, here's the question: what should we do? Do we "promote" kvmsmall?
If you need severe changes, I wouldn't touch kvmsmall.
Do we create a new kernel (i.e., a new branch in our kernels, IIUC)?
Not new kernel or branch. Just new flavor as kvmsmall is.
Do we, I don't know, find a way to build and ship Kata's upstream kernel?
I don't see a reason for this. Are there some out-of-tree patches? If so, you need to build your own kernel. But you can still do that by linking kvmsmall and tune it with config.addon and/or patches.addon. thanks, -- js suse labs

Speaking of kernel flavors: I wonder whether the OBS multibuild would help simplifying things. With the multibuild, in theory, you can override the list of flavors to build in the project config or such, too. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

Right, I think this works for me. At least, I'm happy to give it a try.

Sure. Well, we definitely need our own .config. About out-of-tree
patches, quite likely not a huge queue, but it's possible that we'd
need some... So a solution that allows us to have them (as it does the
one you're suggesting, AFAIUI) would be preferrable.
Thanks again and Regards

Ok, I don't really know how OBS multibuild work (as said, we're just
starting with this), but I'm happy to take a look.
Thanks and Regards
