hi...
thanks for the reply... your comments are reasonable. but you have to
understand.. this is for a project... to simply gain additional/further
information.. i'm not looking to replace Centos/RH... i was simply looking
for docs/instructions on how to build Centos from source in both the
regular/debug mode... no more.. no less...
in all honesty, it should be rather simple, as i should be able to
essentually use the same cmnds that are used to build the source rpms..
the difficulty/lack of information is coming as i can't find anything that
appears to relate to the 'debug-kernel' issue...
I am guessing this is for some school project...
The debug kernel you mentioned was only upstream in 2.1. The 'code' to
create the kernel-debug is in that spec file ONLY. Red Hat changed its
way of doing things and put all the debugging information in
-debuginfo packages sometime during the Fedora packages (FC3 was
stabilized into RHEL-4.. so Centos-4 would be your best bet to
creating all the debuginfo pacakges.)
In your 'build' system you will want to make sure that the rpmmacros
files do not have
%debug_package %{nil}
so that the automatic debug packages are created.
What google will tell you:
