Hello all, I have a wish to put up into the opensuse build service a rpm (factory) build of the following application, but I am stuck on constructing a good .spec file which will apply the patch to the kernel source ,and then compile it into an installable rpm, and I was wondering if you could help me with this please. It will be a steep learning curve for me as I am new to all this. Application:reiser4-for-2.6.24 Source patch for Kernel: http://chichkin_i.zelnet.ru/namesys/reiser4-for-2.6.24.patch.gz Developer info links: http://marc.info/?l=reiserfs-devel&r=1&w=2 http://www.nabble.com/ReiserFS---General-f1023.html Question 1 Do I need to copy Linux Kernel(s) From: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/x86_... and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/i586... To: ..../home/XXX/src/kernel-default-2.6.24... Questions: 2. Do I need a 2 copies of the Kernel Source for each platform (x86_64 & i586) ? (eg kernel-source-2.6.24.?-??.?.x86_64.rpm and kernel-source-2.6.24.?-??.?.i586.rpm ) 3. Can someone provide me a .spec and .config file which will do the following thins: - Unpack the Kernel Sources (both platforms x86_64 & i586) - Apply the patch e.g (patch -p1 < ..../home/XXX/src/reiser4-for-2.6.24.patch) - Copy in a good .config file (Do I need one/where do I copy it to ?) - make/build the rpm installable binary and patched source code rpm packages (using make binrpm-pkg ?? ) - 4. Can the make/build process output a output an rpm like kernel-reiser4-2.6.24.1-76.1.x86_64.rpm and kernel-reiser4-2.6.24.1-76.1.i586.rpm 5. How do I use the .spec and .config file do I have to upload them somewhere ?. 6. Finally how and when do I know the build process passed/failed ? Thankyou for your help.
