Hi to all,
         I have a question about building my own custom kernel using the
rpm-tools. I can build the kernel modules using the out-of-tree build against
my latest kernel from Fedora Rawhide with no problems. I have bult my own
custom kernel using make xconfig,make clean, make modules, make
modules_install,and finally, dracut -f /boot/initramfs <kernel version>.img
<kernel version>

My only bug-bear by doing the make modules method is that it took a total of 5
1/2 hours with my Athlon XP 3,000 machine.So I looked at building the nouveau
kernel faster using the rpm-tools methodHere is the link
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo

I have built a skeleton spec file using rpm-spec, and filled in the details
from the kernel section of Fedora Koji,and the Fedora rpm-tools howto.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo

I've ran rpmlint -i linux-2.6.36-nouveau.i686.spec to test my spec file,but I
keep getting this error:

linux-2.6.36-nouveau.i686.spec: W: invalid-url Source0:
/root/opt/linux-2.6/linux-2.6.36-nouveau.tar.gz
The value should be a valid, public HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP URL.

I've tried both url's for the linux-2.6 git repository,and also linus's url for
the kernel,but I still keep getting the same error.

I have attached the spec file I've been using to see where I've been going
wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
       STEVE555

I am not sure that this has something to do with nouveau.

As far as I know the modules compilation time depend mainly on you CPU speed and the number of modules you compile.

As my guess is you don't want to or can use a more recent CPU, you could "make localmodconfig" in order to minimize the numer of modules to be buit.

I didn't receive the spec file with your email.

This is the current spec file I'm trying to use to build the nouveau kernel.

You can compile drm modules against your kernel:

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we
haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good
that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot.
(Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git
versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's
bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs
that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please
make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/
for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
