It seems worth keeping for testing WIP features, at least. It doesn't build for me, though. The error I get is that it's trying to create a directory outside of the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT during "make modules_install". I'm building using: $ rpmbuild -bb -D "kversion `uname -r`" rhel/openvswitch-kmod-fedora.spec ... mkdir: cannot create directory '/lib/modules/4.3.3-300.fc23.x86_64/extra': Permission denied I was looking at how to pass $RPM_BUILD_ROOT into there properly, but I got distracted before I got it to work. -- Russell Bryant _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
