Point 2 (note 12051) is the one that is relevant. I welcome any
feedback / suggestions for the proposed method I outlined there.
While you are there, look also at the issues described for Point 3
(note 12052). Anyone can help in there as well. :)

Hi Akemi,

Two questions:
1) Is there a step by step documentation on rebuilding the centosplus
kernels that includes what the environment should be.

I built all the binaries on RHEL6beta2refresh. Other than that, I hope
that the info on how to build cplus 6 kernel is in that bug tracker
entry.

2) Is it possible to get upstream patches from newer kernels included or
must on do it themselves.

I am specifically interested in the following 2 patches that let linux
behave according to
Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers
                  draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router-09

The current kernel-2.6.32-71.18.2.el6 does not have these patches - which
prevents using it as
a customer edge router for ipv6.

I had a quick look at the patches. The first one seems to be
applicable without any modifications. The second one will need an
adjustment.

Could you file a request at bugs.centos.org ? I can try and build a
test cplus kernel with those patches applied. Are you then able to
test it to see if the patched version works as expected?
