Hello, Thanks for the info Michal. I did the following ,had to change some items: - I created a kernel-default in my home project - Had to change the linkage after finding a .33 kernel based project. Details: <link project="home:tiwai:kernel:2.6.33" package="kernel-source" cicount="copy"> - copied in the kernel-default.spec to my home kernel-default project - I triggered a compile to see if the kernel builds. The build is in progress. Now to build the extra patch, I did these steps: # cd / # md patches.addon # cd patches.addon # wget -c http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/edward/reiser4/reiser4-for-2.6... # bunzip2 reiser4-for-2.6.33.patch.bz2 # echo patches.addon/reiser4-for-2.6.33.patch > series # cat series patches.addon/reiser4-for-2.6.33.patch # cd / # tar -cvf patches.addon.tar patches.addon # tar -cvf patches.addon.tar patches.addon patches.addon/ patches.addon/series patches.addon/reiser4-for-2.6.33.patch # bzip2 patches.addon.tar tar tf patches.addon.tar.bz2 patches.addon/ patches.addon/series patches.addon/reiser4-for-2.6.33.patch I added file patches.addon.tar.bz2 to the project I need help in changing the specfile to apply this patch(patches.addon.tar.bz2) Questions - What lines need to be added or changed , what should the lines look like ? Project -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=kernel-default&project=home%3Adoiggl Specfile -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=kernel-default.spec&package=kernel-default&project=home%3Adoiggl Thanks for the help.
