2.6.12 PKGBUILD?

Duke · 2005-06-21 20:44:03

Well, I wanted to try the 2.6.12 kernel, but I can't find the PKGBUILD anywhere. I tried checking out the testing repository with the steps in the wiki, but this only leaves me with "base" and "extra" in /var/abs/testing and neither of those directories have anything kernel related.

I checked out all of unstable as well with abs, and it's not there either.

CyberTron · 2005-06-21 20:46:43

You should be able to use an old pkgbuild from abs and just change the kernel-version ..atleast I believe so...

Well, I wanted to build a custom kernel (especially since there is no kernel26-scsi in testing and I boot off a scsi drive) but I wanted to see the patches used in the arch PKGBUILD, since I use the nvidia drivers and acpi would be nice (these patches were applied to the 2.6.11 kernels) and I don't know if they're the same as the older kernels patches.

Duke,
just do as Cybertron already said. Take the pkgbuild and config file of the standard kernel and just go from there. the pkgbuild really is the smallest part, the config is where all the kernel settings are based on.. just mess around with some settings until you find what you're looking for..
here's a pkgbuild I used for a 2.6.12 kernel with morph 1 patch
http://www.metawire.org/~mith/PKGBUILD
and that's the config for it
http://www.metawire.org/~mith/config
and the morph patch you can find at
http://morph-sources.homelinux.net/

I assume you know about the amazing custom kernel PKGBUILD dibblethewrecker has posted to the wiki. One thing you may not know about is how to get the original source kernel PKGBUILD (with list of what patches are applied and such). This is available by looking up the kernel in CVS on the Arch front page (search for kernel26, then view the CVS entry). Or you can run the 'abs' command as root and find the PKGBUILD in /var/abs/kernels/kernel26/

HTH,
Dusty

I wasn't sure if the patches used for the old kernels would work for the new one, thanks though. I'll go give it a shot now.

Dusty · 2005-06-21 21:46:57

ooooooh... No idea there. Its possible the patches have been included into the kernel sources, or they may still be needed... you'd have to research google to figure out for sure.

another possibility is to use dribbles very good tutorial on kernel-pkgbuilding...it is really nice guide (in the wiki)

or use mine here (with cko-patches workes perfect with nvidia ) the only thing needed is a config
EDIT: Saw that u wanted the kernel-2.6.12...well, commented out the patch, and changed the name...

sorry my mistake..*but your nick is soooo long *

dibble it is

CyberTron · 2005-06-21 22:45:51

btw, the 2.6.12 pkgbuild is out now...(it is a mm version)
