Hi,
I (with DaveJ) help maintain the kernel release notes for Fedora. A user suggested a while back that we remove the building instructions from the release notes and put those in a separate doc devoted to more detailed instructions on building the kernel RPM (including applying patches and configuring options).
I've got a draft doc now. I come to this from a support perspective - building kernels with patches I get from Engineering to pass on for testing. I'd like to get the point of view of some kernel developers as well.
- Is what's here correct? - Is there more that should be here? - Does the info here conform to best practices?
Any feedback appreciated. I am happy to make edits myself if you reply, or of course any one can make edits on their own.
