building a new kernel, and firmware

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  last question about "building kernel" wiki page, i promise. here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel#Build_the_New_Kernel

one reads:

"To build with firmware included, do:

rpmbuild -bb --with baseonly --with firmware --without debuginfo \
--target=`uname -m` kernel.spec "

  i've examined the kernel.spec file and i see nothing about firmware
there. further down that page, one reads:

"su -c "rpm -ivh
$HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/<arch>/kernel-<version>.<arch>.rpm \
       $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/<arch>/kernel-firmware-<version>.<arch>.rpm \
       $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/<arch>/kernel-headers-<version>.<arch>.rpm \
       $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/<arch>/kernel-devel-<version>.<arch>.rpm"

but i just did a build "--with firmware" and i see no generated
"kernel-firmware" rpm. did that *used* to exist? can someone clarify
this?

  just FYI, i'm writing a wiki page that i want to use in an upcoming
fedora admin course, and i want to make sure that the recipe i give is
absolutely accurate; hence, my obsession with technical pedantry.
