There might be reasons, you’d wish you could make the kernel module package do other things. Two already pop into my head: 1) The mpp-Image upgrades for the ibm-rdac kernel module packages and 2) the “adjustments” which need to be done post install for the VMware kernel module package in /etc/vmware-tools/locations.
What you basically do is this:
- Add the new subpkg template to your sources list
- Call the %suse_kernel_module_package macro with the option -s and then add your source number
For me this looks like this:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
... Source4: vmxnet.tar Source5: preamble Source6: subpkg ... %suse_kernel_module_package -p %{S:5} -s %{S:6} um |
After that, you just need to copy over /usr/lib/rpm/rpm-suse-kernel-module-subpackage to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/subpkg and make your adjustments to that copy.
For example the diff between those two could look like this:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 |

This is my final version of the subpkg template and I hopefully demonstrated how powerful a customized subpkg template can be!
