I'll update those today for the test3 kernels. EPEL and rpmfusion kept me busy in the past weeks and I didn't found time to update the kmod stuff in livna. >> Any place where using those tools is documented? Not yet, sorry.

You can also build build for multiple kernels in one go by using "--define "kernels foo bar" -- thos don't have to be packaged as RPM, thus you can use it for you self-compiled kernels as well. >> Also, how does the new "no kmods" policy affect how Livna will provide >> these modules? Livna (and rpmfusion sooner or later) will continue to ship kernels modules. How rpmfusion will do it exatly sill needs to be discussed. > Thorsten Leemhuis (knurd in #livna) is the one working on the this > package.

Still working on it and I need to revert some parts for now as yum and mock don't work as I expected them to work(¹) :-(( So some features will have to wait CU knurd (¹) -- seems at least in the current livna buildsys with not up2date versions of rpm/yum/mock only the latest kernel-devel package gets installed if you have another package that for example has BuildRequires: kernel-devel-x86_64 = 2.6.23-0.214.rc8.git2.fc8 BuildRequires: kernel-devel-x86_64 = 2.6.23-0.202.rc8.fc8 Not sure yet if thats a bug or a feature. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
