Note: this memo doesn't cover modifying .config and enable kernel modules but hope that can help in some way. (as root) yum install mock fedpkg Note: To use mock, a user should become a member of the mock group by adding their username to the mock line in /etc/group. This can be done with the following command: sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -a -G mock $USER Note that mock is not intended to be run directly as root. Beware that adding a user to the mock group means that the user can easily get root access on the machine without providing a password. More info: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock (as normal user) cd ~/fedora-scm/ fedpkg clone kernel -a cd kernel/ fedpkg switch-branch f20; fedpkg srpm (this create src.rpm but also download also sources) vi flooding.patch cat kernel_spec.patch | patch SPECS/kernel.spec vi kernel.spec rpmbuild -bs kernel.spec --define "_sourcedir ." --define '_srcrpmdir .' && mock -r fedora-20-x86_64 --rebuild ./kernel-3.15.8-200.fc20.src.rpm --target=x86_64 --define="buildid .sb" --with baseonly --without debuginfo --no-clean ll /var/lib/mock/fedora-20-x86_64/result/ (as root install it) (you need have in /etc/mock/site-defaults.cfg , is not default config_opts['createrepo_on_rpms'] = True ) yum --tmprepo=/var/lib/mock/fedora-20-x86_64/result/repodata/repomd.xml --nogpg update --skip-broken -- Sérgio M.
