CentOS Stream target? #21

hi,

Nice to see you sharing your work.

Will you also target CentOS Stream as best effort since the pipeline might be suited for automation?

Thanks

Tru

Hi @truatpasteurdotfr The RPM .spec files should be able to build on any RHEL-derivative. However, the precompiled kmod RPMs are kernel string specific, it must be the exact same kernel, i.e. 4.18.0-305.7.1 to install and function.

As mentioned in this blog post, at this time, our CI/CD automation is setup for RHEL 8 (x86_64) only.

Comparing the list of kernel-core packages for CentOS 8 Stream versus list of kernel-core packages for RHEL 8 there is sometimes overlap but in general not.

Therefore, I would suggest to either use the DKMS modularity streams or build your own precompiled kmod packages (as per the README or Packaging Guide).

Closing. If you need help with building your own packages, feel free to re-open.
