While you are dealing with this a quick question: What's the best way to use
the ark tree to build a vanilla kernel these days? When fedora rawhide
started to use ark that was easy, because all the patches that actually
modified the kernel code for real where in a separate, optional branch (that
was only a few month ago, but forgot the name already, sorry...). But I lost
track how to do that now everything is mixed up in the os-build branch and
it's something I'd like to use to build my kernel vanilla packages
(
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories ) straight from
ark.
Ok. Fair question. :-) Folks did not like the separate ark-patches branch,
so I combined it with os-build to make development easier, but created a gap
for vanilla kernels as you described. Other RHEL folks requested the same
thing to apply the redhat/ infra to various upstream submaintainer trees.
My plan at the time was to auto-create another branch say 'redhat-infra'
(bad name I know) that stripped Red Hat patches out of os-build leaving just
the redhat/ directory on top of upstream 'linus' branch.
Then you could take any upstream branch and just 'git merge redhat-infra' to
quickly add in the RH infrastructure pieces. And that would address your
concern, I believe.
However, that did slip off my radar and I never finished writing that script
to generate that branch.
But assuming I did finish that script, would the spirit of that approach
work for you? (aside from a better name [suggestions welcome])
Cheers,
Don
