[qubes-users] Re: Whats the deal with kernels?
I did do that. The problem was that 'misconfigured' file: .rpmmacros. Apparently you have to edit (or make) the file and add _gpg_dir, _gpg_name and _signature parameters. This is only half true. The file that needs to be modified (and possibly bind-dir this file) is not located in ~/.rpmmacros as suggested. The file is located here: /usr/bin/rpm/macros and you do not need to edit anything except the _gpg_name parameter or it breaks. Does anyone know what the different kernel rpms are for? kernel.rpm kernel-devel.rpm kernel-qubes.rpm I guess I would install the kernel-qubes.rpm. I would also guess that kernel.rpm is without qubes things that I probably want. And devel is with lots of debugging that I probably dont need? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Yes, thank you. I have read that entire page, as well as a few other good resources: github.com/rtiangha/qubes-linux-kernel/blob/devel-4.14-hard/README.md github.com/0spinboson/qubes-doc/blob/patch-1/managing-os/compiling-your-own-kernel.md Im running into a problem right at the end. rpm --add-sign /home/user/*.rpm You must set "%_gpg_name" in your macro file I have made the missing file: ~/.rpmmarco %_signature gpg %_gpg_path /home/user/.gnupg %_gpg_name (b4892c28 / mypgp) I still get the error. Can I ignore this? Qubes-Builder docs suggests editing the builder.conf and changing NO_SIGN=1 but that doesnt exactly apply to kernels, does it? I dont need to sign my packages, do I? Im not sure if the compiler is failing at the rpm signing or if its ignoring and finished. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
