Summary: RELNOTES - kernel-devel required for modules in section 8.7 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187582 ------- Additional Comments From Tommy.Reynolds at MegaCoder.com 2006-04-01 09:25 EST ------- There are actually at least 4 use cases to cover: 1) All I need is to compile a 3rd-party module: The easiest way is to install the "kernel-devel" RPM and then point make(1) to the infrastructure that provides: # cd /path/to/new/module # make -C /lib/module/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD modules # make -C /lib/module/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD modules_install is often sufficient. 2) I need to work with same kernel sources as the distro, perhaps to debug a crash: Install the "kernel-devel" RPM. In "/usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)" find a fully-configured kernel source tree with only those sources used for the FCn kernel. Sources for features not supported by the Fedora project, such as NTFS, are not currently provided in this RPM. This RPM is also useful to build a new Fedora kernel with some configuration parameters altered. To compile a 3rd-party driver using these files, use a make(1) command similar to: # make -C /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r) M=$PWD modules # make -C /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r) M=$PWD modules_install 3)I want to use a feature not supported by Fedora, or, I want to see full kernel sources for the current distribution. Install the "kernel-${version}-${release}.src.rpm" RPM. Sources for the plain kernel, the Xen kernels, and the vanilla kernel will be installed in "${RPMROOT}/BUILD/kernel-${version}". To build a 3rd-party driver, use a make(1) command similar to: # make -C ${RPMROOT}/BUILD/kernel-${version}/linux-${version} M=$PWD modules # make -C ${RPMROOT}/BUILD/kernel-${version}/linux-${version} M=$PWD modules_install 4) I have a textbook about kernel programming and I want to follow the examples. Install the "kernel-${release}-${version}.src.rpm" RPM as explained above. Then move the desired sources into "/usr/src/linux-$(uname -r)" like this: # cd ${RPMROOT}/BUILD/kernel-${version} # mv linux-${version} /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r) # cd /usr/src/ # ln -s ./linux-$(uname -r) linux # cd /usr/src/linux -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

Red Hat can have a repository signing key that signs the keys used in 'trusted' repositories.

Chicken-and-egg: What can you trust? At some point, people just have to apply a certain degree of faith. As long as their is a complete chain of cryptographic signatures, we simply have to provide a single trusted source. That source would most likely be the websites, where we already have SHA1 checksums provided. Users must simply be able to have faith in our websites. 2. Chain formation: * We provide checksums for the images on the websites. * When creating repository configurations for yum, we provide GPG key locations. * We provide key fingerprints for our repositories on the websites. * We place configurations and keys for regular repositories on the install media. * Anaconda asks for additional repository information at install time. * During the installation, missing GPG keys are downloaded *before* installation. * The downloaded key fingerprints are presented to the user by Anaconda. * The user can compare fingerprints to those from the websites. * Third-party repositories can provide the same information. * The user has an opportunity to approve or refuse each key. * Anaconda asks the user whether or not to trust unsigned or unverified packages. * Anaconda uses yum to download the packages and verify signatures.
