So grep -i smi2021 rpmbuild/SOURCES/config-* rpmbuild/SOURCES/config-x86_64-generic:CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI2021=m So config-x86_64-generic is the ONLY one that has this option. Then I run rpmbuild and the kernel*.config files are generated: grep -i smi2021 rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-3.17.fc20/linux-3.17.8-200.smi2021.fc20.x86_64/kernel*.config rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-3.17.fc20/linux-3.17.8-200.smi2021.fc20.x86_64/kernel-3.17.8-x86_64.config:CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI2021=m rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-3.17.fc20/linux-3.17.8-200.smi2021.fc20.x86_64/kernel-3.17.8-x86_64-debug.config:CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI2021=m so only two of them have the new option. Then rpmbuild -bb fails with CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI2021 + exit 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.sASN4F (%prep) The relevant code in /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.sASN4F is # now run oldconfig over all the config files for i in *.config do mv $i .config Arch=`head -1 .config | cut -b 3-` make ARCH=$Arch listnewconfig | grep -E '^CONFIG_' >.newoptions || true if [ -s .newoptions ]; then cat .newoptions exit 1 fi rm -f .newoptions make ARCH=$Arch oldnoconfig echo "# $Arch" > configs/$i cat .config >> configs/$i done # end of kernel config which checks that ALL *.config files in the kernel tree have empty .newoptions. Of course, none do, except for the x86_64 ones. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
