Mailing List Archive: Fwd: kmdl Build Question

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

This may have been discussed in the past so pardon the repeat if it
has. I know Axel is a wonderful one man show and will eventually have
time to build and release the video4linux-kmdl,
nvidia-graphics295.20-kmdl and lirc-kmdl modules I use on my mythtv
system. In the meantime I am running the 279 kernel despite 279.1.1
and 279.2.1 having been released.

My question is this?

Should I wish to play and learn is it possible to get the src.rpm for
these moudules and on a system running the 279 kernel build modules
for 279.1.1 or 279.2.1 or do I need the target kernel in a vm and
build the modules on it?

Yes, you can build modules for kernels you are not running.
The only thing you need is the kernel-devel of the appropriate version
installed for building the module for that kernel.

nvidia is a little more complicated but the other two are easy:
