I just checked that specific RPM, and that RPM *does* contain all that you need. In particular, the following *are* in there: kernel-2.6.spec linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2 patch-2.6.12-rc5-neutered.bz2 <- probably why they won't patch a 2.6.11 The spec file lists all the *.patch files and the order to apply them in. It even has a whole bunch of *.config files. Your best best is to 'rpm -ivh' that RPM - that will put the pieces in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and /usr/src/redhat/SPECS. 'rpmbuild kernel.spec' (with appropriate flags, you probably want '--target x86_64' if you want a 64-bit build only). Adding patches is a matter of dropping the patch in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and adding a few lines to the kernel-2.6.spec file. --==_Exmh_1204303003_3290P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFHyDSbcC3lWbTT17ARAgSPAJ9wcUAXI9zYGmV0L2IlvyGz+FfgiQCfeX8G EvlN4gvoPqdRfRXoRvd5Hu4= =XA7R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1204303003_3290P-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
