I didn't realize the original patch was based on integration branch, which is apparently why it kept failing to apply with rpmbuild (and hence patch) on kernel-3.16.0-1.fc21.src.rpm. I'm told in this email that git am would have sorted this out for me.

But if it requires a local git clone of upstream's dev branch, then ignore this part because I'm not going to do that. I'd sooner ask for a patch that applies onto something I'm actually going to build. >> >> Request 2: patches to just get picked up by dropping them somewhere, like rpmbuild/SOURCES/*.patch always get picked up and applied, rather than requiring two manually entered entries in kernel.spec per patch. > > Request 3: Current instructions call for use of yum, yumdownloader, and yum-builddep. Can it be done entirely with dnf? I'm not sure what the dnf equivalent is for yumdownloader or yum-builddep. I have no idea. None of us use dnf. If someone would like to experiment with what it would take to do this with dnf, that would be a great way for the community to help out. Post the directions to the kernel list and we'll see how they look. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
