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.)

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.

Thanks.

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
