Kernel Builds

Hi Pascal,
Thanks for your reply!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't patches modify just the source code (.c/.h files)? You would still need to compile it to binary code to see the changes in action, right? What I'm looking into is how much time a typical kernel developer spends with the build system every day.
Regards,
Roman.

Hello Roman,
Mostly there is no need of building a new kernel - as in most cases new developments can be added as a patch without building the kernel.
For normal users there is also no need as new kernel versions are provided by the distro teams.
What are you looking for?
Sincerely,
Pascal
