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.
