Good Morning Everyone,

First of all, we would like to wish you all a very happy new year! May it give us the opportunity to meet with you all and see our group grow and succeed :)

Here is a quick update of some of the things we have been working on this week:

* Packaging Some of the libraries we have been using had been quickly packaged and made available in a copr repo. We figured it was time to have another look at them, polish their packaging and submit them to be included in Fedora and EPEL.

* A container to (re)building the kernel's RPM We've been looking at ways to build a container with all the dependencies pre-installed to make it really easy to (re)build the kernel's RPM. We ended up with two methods: - One using OSBuild and the Makefile [1] This allows to build qcow2 or container images thus giving the possibility to use VM or container both with the same content - One using a more traditional approach based on a Dockerfile [2] For both approaches, once you are running the container, you can simply: - get a kernel source rpm (for example: https://cbs.centos.org/kojifiles/packages/kernel-auto/5.14.0/30.1.el9s/src/k... ) - rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-auto-*.src.rpm

Happy hacking, Pierre
