The fedora kernel repository has a nice way of managing the configuration differences with a merge.pl script. Every architecture specifies only the configuration options that differ, and the rest are picked from the standard template. The current ARM "kernel" rpm is only a placeholder/dummy rpm which satisfies the "provides" etc. dependencies of other packages. How should we go about the multiple kernels approach: 1. create multiple kernel rpms for multiple boards? kernel-sheevaplug, kernel-beagle, etc.? 2. create a single kernel rpm with multiple images stored within it? 3. forget the kernel rpm, let each board have its own pre-built kernel binary available? Since anyway most of the people will probably burn the kernel separately on the flash? ...snip... > > Jirka > > > >-- > >With best regards!
