Re: [Fedora-xen] Easiest way to compile custom kernel, for fedora +openswan+xen+patchomatic

That would be grea tif you could send that, but I would also like to know how to do this myself.  Could you explain in more detail how you did this?  So it looks like you took the FC5 SRPM, and the endian SRPM and ported the changes (how did you arrive at the changes).  You also stated that you got patch-o-matic from SVN (not sure what that is) and updated a few things, I take it that you ran patch-o-matic and installed some options? 

I really appreciate your reply and I hop it isn't too much trouble to provide some more detail.  Thanks.

Hi Tom,

I am working on a similar thing.  What I have done is taken the FC5
kernel SRPM and ported the changes from the one from Endian developer
SRPMS (based on FC3).

You will need to grab patch-o-matic from SVN and update a few things but
all will build and boot OK.

If you like I can send you the updated SRPM I have built (based on
2122).

Take care,

Gawain
