Re: Simple script to grab and install the appropriate kernel RPMs

Thanks, David for the script. Did you try to use the yum_kdebug.sh
script for cross compiling examples? I noticed when trying to use "yum
install" that yum would complain about installing kernels older than the
currently installed kernel.

I've never seen yum complain about installing kernel debuginfo for older kernels, but I also doubt I've done that operation much. I might have a vague memory of that happening, if so I would have just removed the newer debuginfo by hand and run the script again.

I would like to revise the stapprep.sh scrip to handle fedora repos
correctly. There is the DEBUGINFOREPO variable that should be set
appropriate for the various fedoras.

BTW, there is really no point in my keeping the older fc5/fc6 stuff in my script, I just haven't bothered taking it out.

You can certainly see how I'm handling the fedora repos by looking at my
script.


Hi David,


I found that wildcard matching works for the --enablerepos, so I made a tweak so that it matches all debuginfo repos. The explicit version specified in rpm should avoid trying to pull in every possible kernel-devel, kernel-debuginfo rpm. The script works for fedora machines now with the bonus that the script is one line shorter. :) I did a git push so the script is available from the git repo.
