I'd like to rebuild RH's current rawhide kernel SRPM, but with the 2.4.5 XFS

Good question, I believe Russel Catalan originally did the 2.4.2-XFS kernel that came on the 1.0 installer disk. I think he would be the one to ask. There were over 200 patches in the 2.4.2 RH 7.1 kernel so I have no idea were to begin.


I was planing to give this a shot over the weekend. So, if anyone gets some initial answers, a post would be cool so everyone doen't have to reinvent the wheel.

RedHat is keeping up on the latest kernels in their rawhide tree. The latest drop, IIRC, added ext3. If there was a set of patches and config changes, and several people asked real nice, maybe they would also put xfs in their next rawhide kernel.

Is anyone from redhat on this list?
