Hi,

I'm developing kernel modules right now, and the build times are
starting to get under my skin. As a side effect i'm taking way too
many "coffee" breaks during builds.

3) Is there any way i can get the "Centos specific" patches in "plain
patch" format? That means i dont wanna do things in src-rpm way.
If the patches are available in normal patch format i can keep
everything tidy in my kernel git tree.

The CentOS way of "Build Your Own Kernel Modules" is described in this
CentOS wiki article:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules

I suggest you try method 1 first to see if you can build your module.
Once confirmed, you may want to proceed to method 3 to build a
kABI-compatible module.

You can ask further questions about kmods either here, or better yet,
on the ELRepo's mailing list. ELRepo ( http://elrepo.org ) builds a
number of kernel modules for RHEL/CentOS/SL.

So bottom line is, i can't get the patches other than src-rpms?


I better learn this thing, i guess.
cheers.
