[opensuse-kernel] Using OBS to publish a patched version of ext4 for 11.3 timeframe?
All, I just joined this list and I'm not sure it is the right place to post the question, so please point me in the right direction if this is wrong. I am working with a kernel project that does not yet any code in mainline. The kernel portion of the project has two major components, a ext4 patch (series) and a new module. I already have the new module in the OBS as a KPM. If feasible I'd like to use the OBS to publish a ext4 KMP package that replaces the default one for users that want to try out our new kernel module. Is that a simple possibility, or complex.

The KMP is all you need. (And of course, that you install it once built.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

My plan then is to have the KMP spec file copy the ext4 source out of the factory kernel source, apply our ext4 patch and compile up a replacement ext4 module in addition our main module. I'll try getting that to work shortly.

I've got this building as a OpenSUSE KPM. Is it also possible to do the same for the other distros? (ie. Fedora). I tried to search the OBS for KPM files for Fedora to use as a guide and was surprised not to find any. Currently when I try to build under Fedora my build requires blows up: # BuildRequires: kernel-source kernel-syms module-init-tools Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
