We have a requirement to use kernel version 3.18.22 on top of CentOS7. We have created RPM package for Linux kernel 3.18.22 for our purpose. We would like to contribute the same to CentOS Repositories. My question is whether centos accepts contribution from others ? If so we would like to contribute our spec file and RPM.
There is a 4.x kernel already in the centos repos, it might be good to visit that and contribute developer time towards maintaining that. If you really want to push in a 3.18.x kernel, then what sort of a maintenance and support cycle are you looking at ? and how do you plan on executing that ?
We can likely find a place as an alternate CentOS Plus kernel, if there is enough confidence in having a supported setup.
