Hi, I am following the hints from http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2010-07/msg00014.html in order to create a custom kernel. Using patches.addon with patches and a series file is a very nice feature in order to ease integration with upstream kernel srpms. I am now wondering if there is a similar mechanism for adding custom kernel flavours. E.g. something like a file which gets prepended to config.conf and package-descriptions etc. I already learned that I can place the configuration for the new flavour into config.addon.tar.bz2. My config.addon.tar.bz2 looks like drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2011-01-13 13:04 config.addon/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2011-01-13 13:04 config.addon/i386/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 63963 2011-01-13 13:04 config.addon/i386/ccs -rw-r--r-- root/root 63963 2011-01-13 13:04 config.addon/i386/ccsws I also added my two new flavours to config.conf manually. I can then successfully create kernel-ccs.spec and kernel-ccsws.spec using ./mkspec. When trying to actually build the kernel flavours I get: rpmbuild -ba kernel-ccs.spec tar: config/i386/ccs: Not found in archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors To me this looks like config.add.tar.bz2 is actually not used as expected. Any hints welcome.
