Hello, Could the following be turned into a .spec file, if so, could you list the the equivilant of the following script to specfile please. The result would be 2 built rpms. Thanks Glenn

Do you just want to build a reiserfs filesystem into the kernel? Then you could build just a KMP...

Or, branch the kernel-vanilla kernel, add the patch to patches.addon.tar.bz2, add it to "series.conf", checkin.

Ciao, Marcus

Some info In the past as noted I see this project over here [1] to build a rpm module for reiser4 2.6.31 fs which is older than 2.6.34. There is a reiser4 2.6.34 available now at [2] Is it possible to build a rpm module for reiser4 2.6.34 fs ? If so what bits could be used from [1] and [2] How can the rpm be built module for reiser4 2.6.34 ? Thanks Glenn [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=reiser4-kmp&project=drivers%3Afilesystems [2] http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/edward/reiser4/reiser4-for-2.6... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Is it possible to just build the rpm module for reiser4 for KMP using .spec file How is that done considering the file looks like one big patch to me # bzip2 -tv reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch.bz2 reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch.bz2: ok In the past I used a script [1] to do this but that did the whole lot. I wanted single installable module, thought that may be possible. Cheers Glenn [1] # Begin majorv=34 cd /usr/src/ rm -rf linux-2.6.$majorv.$minorv bunzip2 linux-2.6.$majorv.tar.bz2 tar -xvf linux-2.6.$majorv.tar cp -v /boot/config-$(uname -r) /usr/src/linux-2.6.$majorv/.config bunzip2 reiser4-for-2.6.$majorv.patch.bz2 cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.$majorv patch -p1 --dry-run < ../reiser4-for-2.6.$majorv.patch patch -p1 < ../reiser4-for-2.6.$majorv.patch diff .config /usr/src/linux-2.6.$majorv/.config cp -v .config /usr/src/linux-2.6.$majorv/.config make menuconfig make rpm-pkg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Looks like I'll discard plan A

Looks like use Plan B..... - Or, branch the kernel-vanilla kernel, - add the patch to patches.addon.tar.bz2, - add it to "series.conf",checkin. 1. What steps are needed to branch the kernel-vanilla kernel to I presume a blank project. 2. To create patches.addon.tar.bz2 is this ok- # bunzip2 -v reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch.bz2 reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch.bz2: done # tar -cvf patches.addon.tar reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch # bzip2 -v patches.addon.tar reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch patches.addon.tar: 5.317:1, 1.505 bits/byte, 81.19% saved, 2396160 in, 450702 out. reiser4-for-2.6.34.patch: 5.313:1, 1.506 bits/byte, 81.18% saved, 2394103 in, 450584 out. # bunzip2 -v patches.addon.tar.bz2 patches.addon.tar.bz2: done What does this mean and what does it do -> add it to "series.conf" Have you a .spec file I could use to apply the patch to the kernel and build the new patched kernel Thanks Glenn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

From the above it appears I need to branch a full kernel package, patch the ext4 code and then compile just the one module.

Is that right?

I'd try asking over on opensuse-kernel as you'll reach some of our kernel developers there which might be able to further help you. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
