How to install fresh kernel from rawhide

[Michael Kuryshev]

Hi,

what's the proper steps to install kernel (modules, headers, etc) from 
rawhide. And I want to keep 'em updated, without breaking any other 
stuff or pulling another rawhide packages.


The reason I want this is to install 4.3+ kernel because it seems it 
should have fixed thunderbolt2 support for new 2015 macbooks.

I don't know.

Then, I would suggest you download 4.3.x from kernel.org directly.
Take a look into /boot, copy the .config of your actual kernel into
the 4.3 sourcetree. You can follow these steps to compile your kernel:

make oldconfig (you'll have to make some decisions here)
make
make modules_install
make install

Your new kernel will live peacefully together with all your other Fedora
kernels installed. If you do not need it any longer some time in the
future, just delete the related files in /boot and /lib/modules, and
remove the sourcetree.

Have done that all my life, since I'm using a heavily customised
configuration which requires compiling a new kernel anyway.

You might try enabling this repository:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug

This contains the latest rawhide kernel, but with debugging off.

I suppose I would *want* to, but if it's not available, hey, cool,
there's a way to get it from rawhide.

Seems on-topic to me!


In that case, wouldn't you want to get it from a testing repo instead of 
rawhide?

Exactly. Especially as (not improbably) there may be issues with it.

Rawhide is a topic for the Test list, where testers hang out. It's not
appropriate for the Users list (this one).

In this case, though, it's an entirely user-focused concern: getting
early access to a kernel version which is known to fix a specific bug.
Seems on-topic to me!

Thanks, Matt, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
