 Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2007 1:14 pm Post subject: Looking for a kernel upgade script |
 |
|
I stumbled upon a script last week in the forums but unfortunately lost track of it and wasn't able to find it again...
This script helps manage kernel packages, avoiding messy emerge -C =gentoo-sources-2.xx-ry and cleaning /usr/src directory and maybe other directories as well (in /lib maybe?).
Has anyone seen this script or any other script that could help do this?
Thanks,

well.. your question is not very explicit but lets see if this or something like this answers your question.
| Code: | * sys-kernel/module-rebuild
Latest version available: 0.5
Latest version installed: 0.5
Size of files: 0 kB
Homepage: http://www.gentoo.org/
Description: A utility to rebuild any kernel modules which you have installed.
License: GPL-2 |
| Code: | # nano kernel-script
cd /usr/src/linux ;
make clean ;
make menuconfig ;
make ;
make modules_install ;
module-rebuild rebuild ;
mount /boot ;
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-<version-here> |
save and exit.
| Code: | | # chmod +x kernel-script |
run like this
this " script " can be made more or less fancy, with more or less options.
Its up to the user

| Actually, the idea is more that if you do regular updates, then your /usr/src directory will be full with tons directories with many versions of gentoo sources that you will then have do manually remove. Plus, if you compile a given kernel, the removal through portage leaves the directory behind. This script helped you keep the kernel sources situation under control. |
