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:
- 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.
- 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?
