Description of problem: Release notes from http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/release-notes-ISO/#id3092710 Section 8.6 Preparing for Kernel Development tell me: Prepare the kernel sources using the commands: cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec The kernel source tree is located in the ${HOME}/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-<version>/ directory. This is not correct for FC5; when following the procedure the directory .../BUILD/kernel-<version>/ contains: # ls -p rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.17/ Config.mk linux-2.6.17.i686/ vanilla/ xen/ xen-20060708/ So I assume the kernel "sources" of a version I want to build myself are in one these subdirectories, but this is different from the current wording of the release notes. The box a few lines above "Do Not Build Packages as Super-user" has the directory (almost) correct: ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-<version>/linux-<version> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Thanks for the BZ. I have fixed it in the Wiki, so it should get updated in the next release -- FC6T3 and beyond. Sam
