Are you packaging the kernel as an RPM?
Currently no, I'm cross-compiling directly from git. I've already
discussed coordinating my work with Fu Wei and part of the plan
is for him to eventually turn my work into a proper rpm.
If so, what kernel version are you basing on?
I'm currently contributing to, and basing my work on
the sunxi-3.4 branch of:
https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi
As mentioned before, Fu Wei has done some work on the A10 kernel as
well, so maybe you could coordinate efforts.
Also, if you have the kernel package in a yum repository, we should be able to generate
images relatively easily using livemedia-creator and a kickstart. The only
'trick' would be getting the U-Boot configuration set up correctly. I could help
set up the kickstart file, if you provide the U-Boot configuration information, and would
like to pursue that.
I agree kickstart is the way to go in the semi-long run. For now
I just want to get something out there, without just dropping an
img file no-one can reproduce. Having something out there will
also make discussing this easier, as then you will see that
the A10 is special in some respects ...
