The workflow has recently changed such that all development is done
on the 'os-build' branch. Update the docs to show how easy it is
to make a change, commit it, generate the srpm and upload it to koji.

While you are dealing with this a quick question: What's the best way to use
the ark tree to build a vanilla kernel these days?
My plan at the time was to auto-create another branch say 'redhat-infra'
How about "build-infra" or "rh-build-infra"? (for the record: I find all
those redhat and rh terms in ark slightly annoying, because it's sending
the wrong message to community contributes, but well, one more "rh" or
less now doesn't matter anymore...)
(bad name I know) that stripped Red Hat patches out of os-build leaving just
the redhat/ directory on top of upstream 'linus' branch.
Then you could take any upstream branch and just 'git merge redhat-infra' to
quickly add in the RH infrastructure pieces. And that would address your
concern, I believe.
Yes, that should work for me.
However, that did slip off my radar and I never finished writing that script
to generate that branch.
Happens, no worries, I might have made more noise earlier if I actually
had been using ark as base for my vanilla builds ;-)
But assuming I did finish that script, would the spirit of that approach
work for you? (aside from a better name [suggestions welcome])
Afaics yes(¹). And of course I'm willing to test and fine-tune this.
Ciao, Thorsten
(¹) while at please let me state a remotely related general wish, maybe
it's something that might be useful for others as well: for my use case
it would be ideal if redhat/configs/fedora/ in ark would also contain
which config settings ideally need to be set differently when building a
kernel for an older release. Right now one of the few differences (apart
from new config options) between rawhide and F32 for example is
CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS: in rawhide it's not set, in F32 it's enabled.
Having this information directly in ark as a override (maybe in
redhat/configs/fedora/32/, redhat/configs/fedora/overrides/f32/, or
something like that) would be useful for me; and I guess it would be
useful for the Fedora's kernel maintainers as well, in case they start
building kernels for released Fedora version from ark sooner or later as
well (which I assume is the long term plan – or not?).
