[Fedora-packaging] Alternative kernel packages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm starting to build alternative kernel packages based on the -ck patchsets, and am looking for some feedback/suggestions. My current spec changes from the kernel-2.6.spec (besides changing patches and configs) are:

32c34
< %define release %(R="$Revision: 1.1177 $"; RR="${R##: }"; echo ${RR%%?})_FC4%{rhbsys}
---
> %define release %(R="$Revision: 1.1176 $"; RR="${R##: }"; echo ${RR%%?})_FC4%{rhbsys}.ck2


^ add the version of the ck patch to the release.

155c157
< Name: kernel
---
> Name: kernel-ck

^ change the name of the package to kernel-ck

The goal here is to be able to completely remove all of the stock fedora kernels and only leave kernel-ck (much like I do on smp machines and leave only kernel-smp), and have a "desktop" kernel choice.

Any other gotchas?

The pipe dream would be to have a kickstart file tell anaconda to install the kernel-ck set.
