So it turns out this just becomes more work to maintain in kernel-tools, which wasn't really set up for this. It is already being maintained in the kernel.spec for ELN builds, so I have just enabled it for Fedora as well. This will show up with the 5.14 rebases as they happen.

I suppose I can add it to the kernel-tools package since that only gets built once per RC for rawhide, and only as needed for stable Fedora.

Re: Where has the kernel-doc package gone?
I found the origin of this change to be the following commit: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel/c/b65f9ed036fca30c0684bfc6fe72d72a53e9867a?branch=f21 (which is a revert of a revert to remove the kernel-doc subpackage). The commit also suggest that the package might be a candidate for a separate SRPM which would maybe result in it not needing to be build everyday? Also if I understand you correctly I assume that some of the hacks to koji are not needed anymore. Due to this and given that RHEL includes it I think I will do as suggested and file a bug report.

Would it be possible to add this back to the repos? Easiest would be go to the kernel.org page and use the savepage entry in the File menu of the browser to save a copy of the documentation. Then you can access it offline. A more involved and clumsy workaround is to download the src.rpm package [1] and unpack it. It is a little complicated because you have to run rpmdev-setuptree to create the ~/rpmbuild heirarchy of directories and then rpm -ivh [src.rpm] [***NOT*** as root] to install the src.rpm in ~/rpmbuild and then rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec in ~/rpmbuild/SPECS to expand the source. The source tree containing all the documentation will then be under ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel[...]/linux[...]/Documentation 1. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

While EL-8 is It required koji hacks to build at the time, and the Fedora kernel revved daily. The value of producing the docs package when the same docs are available on kernel.org was very low.

I think there was a request elsewhere to build it as well. josh ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

It isn't that we aren't shipping it, it is that the Kernel spec file does not generate any documentation anymore. It looks like Fedora 20 made this change but I don't know why beyond https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1223200 . While EL-8 is based on Fedora-28, the kernel team for RHEL uses a different spec file. It also did not start shipping with the kernel-doc but looks to have been added with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1659636 At this point I suggest you file a bug against the kernel and cite those two bugs. The current kernel team can work out what work it would be needed and if it could be added. > ___ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure -- Stephen J Smoogen.

Where has the kernel-doc package gone?
I recently had to perform a bit of development/research where I often had to take a look in the kernel documentation. Most of the time was spend offline so I wanted to download the `kernel-doc` package however it does not seem to exist. Some old fedora documentations still refer to it however somewhere in the 2x iteration of fedora it seems to have gone missing. CentOS 8 also still has it. Would it be possible to add this back to the repos? ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
