How to find kernel.spec file for compile vanilla kernel?

[ValerioCMS]

Hi,
i want to compile the vanilla kernel 2.6.37-rc3, but i want to obtain a .rpm file. I found this guide long time ago (i used it many times) but it use src.rpm package and the contained kernel.spec file have many lines for adding patches. Someone know where can i download a kernel.spec for vanilla kernel or a guide to obtain an rpm file???

Thanks

According to the spec file:

# Want to build a vanilla kernel build without any non-upstream patches?
%define with_vanilla %{?_with_vanilla: 1} %{?!_with_vanilla: 0}

Adding "--with vanilla" (e.g: "rpmbuild -ba --with vanilla kernel.spec") to the rpmbuild command line should avoid applying the patches. I haven't tested it though.

The other option is to download the vanilla kernels sources from kernel.org and configure it however you want using one of the several config options. After you have that, do a "make binrpm-pkg" to compile and produce a binary rpm of your own. Other options are available, just do "make help" to see them.

I suspect that vallimar's answer is the most appropriate.

"make binrpm-pkg" does not work properly, it does not create kernel headers and the installed kernel is missing the initramfs and system map, this is not the most appropriate answer in fact its not even a correct answer.

the closest kernel spec file i have seen to what you are asking for is the one cormander used for the grsecurity rpm's ( it only includes one patch) I have forked this project here https://github.com/Laurelai/grsecurity-kernel-rpm if you would like to follow it. I will attempt to include a generic kernel.spec when time allows and if there is enough interest[COLOR="Silver"]
