[elrepo-devel] HOWTO on creating kmod packages?

[David Ranch]

Hello Everyone,

I'd like to learn how to create a kod / weak update package for the FTDI
FT2232 USB serial interface.  Is there any offical documentation on how
to do this?  Maybe a recommendation to use a specific SRPM as a
template?    I see threads like the following but there doesn't seem to
be anything official and current:

http://www.linux-archive.org/centos-development/215406-kmod-packaging-guideline.html


Specifically, I've already added three ID:PID entries to the .h file and
compiled and loaded the resulting kernel module.  I'd now like to offer
this new binary in a kABI-supported RPM package.


Also, though I know this is a specific Centos-centric list, but can
anyone comment if there is similar functionality for other distributions
such as Debian/Ubuntu, SuSe, etc?  I'm trying to help out a poor
hardware vendor in adding Linux support in a proper, supportable fashion
cross multiple distributions.
