Actually all it means is that you need to ask for more space.



Sort of. Adding debuginfo + all arches means that each vanilla
build could end up taking up over a gigabyte. There are limits
to how much space we can ask for.

  


We have just to find a sucker to fix the DWARF mess that we have these 
days... hey, don't look at me... too closely... :-P

   * The location of the binaries - I think we ended up settling

Nearly everyone else I've talked to about this seems to be
against that idea for whatever reasons.

   * how/where to building them.
 AFAIK, it isn't possible to pass switches like --with-vanilla
 to koji, so the two options are..
 - build vanilla as part of the regular build
   (not a great idea, it already takes hours to build
a complete set of kernels).
  
  How about a different package kernel-vanilla in CVS that can be build
  independently of the normal build?

This means committing rebases to 1 place, which sounds like losing.
It doesn't really bring any advantages either afaics.

   [...]
   * dependancies.
 This is the only remaining technical puzzle I think.
 I'd like the vanilla rpms to install on FC6, F7, and rawhide.
 Doing separate builds per distro is just going to kill me.
  
  But often needed, as people otherwise often can't build kernel modules
  theirselfs, as GCC doesn't match (it does currently iirc, but often
  there are different major versions of gcc in the different distros.

3rd party modules for kernel-vanilla brings up an interesting question.
For bugs found in kernel-vanilla, I want *everything* to go to
linux-kernel or bugzilla.kernel.org.   If reports there contain
any out-of-tree modules, they'll get closed out no questions asked.
AFAIAC, 3rd party modules are even less supportable on -vanilla
than they are on the regular fedora kernel.

For the minority that can't live without 3rd party modules, they
can build their own kernels, because building a full set of kernels
for each distro is time consuming enough that I only want to do
this once.

Hallway conversations :-/ I understand that it makes things easier
often, but please share what you discussed and especially the outcome
(like you did with that sentence above) with the public, so outside
contributors don't feel like second class contributors whos opinion
doesn't count.

Yeah, you have a point.
