[elrepo-devel] kernel-ml with debuginfo.

[Andrew Phillips]

Thanks for the reply. 

What are the resources you're short of? CPU, Disk, Network? Anything I
could do to help? 

I've not got to the point with the attached spec file where I can;

 for el6
 - Take a kernel.org .xz release and patch file. 
 - Use the equivalent kernel-ml config (now using config-local to 
   provide overrides)
 - Build debug and debuginfo kernels. 

 I've not tried el7 and/or i686. The attached is for 3.18.3.

 I appreciate this may not be high up your agenda for a kernel that's
used for testing hardware drivers. I'm willing to put some time in here
if this is of value to others to do it the 'elrepo' way, but I'd like
some guidance if possible. 

 Thanks 

 Andy
