Hello, Is there a doc/URL, which serves as guide for packaging kernel patches? If so, I would appreciate a pointer.
I'm trying to package support for netdump (netconsole + dumping machine state + memory dump over network). RedHat kernels have developed this capability (and which is not available in vanilla kernels). They do not have a project page, for publishing the netdump patches, and I have obtained the netdump patch, from the SRPMs for Fedora Core 2 kernel (http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/). So, they don't have a .orig.tar.gz which I can use. Though debuild prints a warning ("W: kernel-patch-netdump source: native-package-with-dash-version"), it exits with 0 return code. Is that okay?
