make rpm is not documented
Hello everyone,
I think this is destinated to Alan but no CC to him because not really so important( Alan wrote the make rpm stuff I think so ).
I couldn't find any documentation about make rpm ( grep -ri rpm in /usr/src/linux/Documentation don't give anything related to that feature).
Second stuff, make rpm don't work for me on suse's kernel. Didn't yet watched what is the problem, but seems to be related with EXTRAVERSION or something like this.
I will have further look and will try to say as much as I can with my poor knowledge.
Thanks,
Sam

At least some versions of the script didnt like multiple '-' symbols. Gerald Britton fixed this for 2.4.18

Basically the thing works with
make config/menuconfig/xconfig
if you use make menu/xconfig then run make oldconfig (I dont trust xconfig..) make rpm
[wait.. wait.. wait.. ]
rpm --install
add to lilo.conf
enjoy

I'm using unstable suse kernel wich is merged from 1st March up to 2.4.19pre1aa
The patch don't seem to work , but I won't bother you with this stuff as this is some specific suse Makefile ( EXTRAVERSION is set to nothing but it has another way to fill it , later in their Makefile )

Any chance we can copy the .config to /boot/config-$version?
