Building Custom Kernel RPMS

2008-12-19 Thread Deepak Saxena
Hi, I've added a new feature to the OLPC kernel tree that should make building custom kernel RPMs from our git tree a bit simpler for anyone who wants to do so. Basically once you have the git tree checked out and have commited your changes, you can run 'make olpc-kernel-rpm' from the top of

I've updated the OLPC git tree with a new xo-v2.6.30 branch. Please use this for an XO-1 development and testing. We're currently are not auto building RPMs out of this branch and this is not currently a priority for me. For those on XO-1.5, I will update that kernel in the next few days.
