Hi,

I'm developing kernel modules right now, and the build times are starting to get under my skin. As a side effect i'm taking way too many "coffee" breaks during builds. (snip) 3) Is there any way i can get the "Centos specific" patches in "plain patch" format? That means i dont wanna do things in src-rpm way. If the patches are available in normal patch format i can keep everything tidy in my kernel git tree.

The CentOS way of "Build Your Own Kernel Modules" is described in this CentOS wiki article:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules

I suggest you try method 1 first to see if you can build your module. Once confirmed, you may want to proceed to method 3 to build a kABI-compatible module.

You can ask further questions about kmods either here, or better yet, on the ELRepo's mailing list. ELRepo ( http://elrepo.org ) builds a number of kernel modules for RHEL/CentOS/SL.

So bottom line is, i can't get the patches other than src-rpms? I better learn this thing, i guess. cheers. _______________________________________________
