Gents,
how do i go about building a kernel from src rpm for rawhide mainline if my current system is not "rawhide" ( it is f25 )?
Objective:
i want to try a new kernel on the current system, but need to make a few changes to it's params.
this is the script i use to adjust various params on the _current_ version:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#4.15.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc28.src.rpm
CWD=$(pwd)
num=4.15
fullish_num=${num}.0
full_num=${fullish_num}-0
src=kernel-${full_num}.rc2.git0.1.fc28.src.rpm
echo "Getting source for the kernel .. "
cd ~
#dnf download --source kernel
cd ~/rpmbuild/ && rm -rf ./* &&
rpmdev-setuptree && cp -v ~/Downloads/kernel* ~/rpmbuild/ &&
rpm -Uhv ${src} && cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS &&
rpmbuild -bp --target=$(uname -m) kernel.spec &&
cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-${num}.fc28/linux-${full_num}.fc28.x86_64/ &&
cp ./configs/kernel-${fullish_num}-x86_64.config ./.config
echo "Sleeping"
sleep 10
make menuconfig
following this script i now get:
Code:
Getting source for the kernel ..
'/home/az/Downloads/kernel-4.15.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc28.src.rpm' -> '/home/az/rpmbuild/kernel-4.15.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc28.src.rpm'

P.S. I should be ashamed to call this junk a script.
