Hi,
I would appreciate a little help please.
I am building the kernel with the following commands:
fedpkg clone -a kernel
cd kernel
git checkout -b f23 --track origin/f23
fedpkg local
and this builds a 4.2.8-300 release, however I need to build a
4.2.7-300 release which fedora is currently running on.
how would I alter my command to achieve this.
I haven't used fedpkg. I was actually unaware of it until your post.
But a quick look at the man page suggests that it can build srpm
files. So, you can go to koji,
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
select the kernel you want, and download the srpm. Once you have that,
it appears that you can build the srpm using
fedpkg build --srpm [srpm name]
If the kernel has been built, there will already be a binary rpm there
for the common architectures. You could forego the build, and just
download and install the binary rpm.
