Kernel builds for Garden Linux\n\nThis repository contains the code for building the [kernel](https://www.kernel.org) in Garden Linux.\nThe build is based on [the debian kernel build](https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux).\n\nGarden Linux includes the latest LTS version of the kernel.\n\n## Components of this repository\n\n`./config` contains Garden Linux specific build configuration for the kernel.\n\n`./fixes-debian` contains patches for the debian build if needed.\nWe apply all patches from debian by default.\nIn some cases, we need to make changes to those to get a working build.\n\n`./upstream-patches` contains kernel patches that are not included in debian's kernel, but are part of the Garden Linux kernel.\n\n`./prepare_source` contains a shell script that merges debian's kernel build repository with the upstream kernel sources.\n\n`./update-kernel.py` contains a script which helps keeping up with patch releases of the LTS kernel version.\n\n`.github/workflows/pr-if-new-kernel.yml` contains the workflow to create new PRs based on `./update-kernel.py` if new patch versions of the LTS kernel are available.\n\n`.github/workflows/build.yml` contains the workflow to build and release the kernel binaries.\n\n## Backports \n\n| branch | description |\n| ------------- | -------------- |\n| `main` | latest lts kernel we maintain (6.18) |\n| `maint-6.12` | maintenance of source code for kernel 6.12 |\n| `maint-6.6` | maintenance of source code for kernel 6.6 | \n| `rel-1877` | backport for 1877, merge code from `maint-6.12` | \n| `rel-1592` | backport for 1592, merge code from `maint-6.6` |\n\n\nThe main branch of this repository always contains the latest kernel available in Garden Linux, and in the nightly builds.\nTypically, this will be the most recent long term support (LTS) line from kernel.org, but from time to time it might also be a 'stable' kernel that will become the next LTS.\n\nWe maintain also older supported kernel versions, if they are required by supported Garden Linux versions.\n\nAny kernel version that we need to maintain other than the latest LTS in main, are maintained in `maint-\u003cMAJOR.MINOR\u003e` branches (e.g. `maint-6.6`).\nBackport releases need to branch off from the respective `maint-\u003cMAJOR.MINOR\u003e` branch and include the corresponding `.container` file for target backport.\n\nBranches containing the `.container` file must be named according to the `rel-MAJOR` naming scheme (e.g. `rel-1443`).\n\n## How to do a backport from maint-X.Y branch\n\n```\ngit checkout rel-MAJOR\ngit merge --squash origin/maint-x.y \n# resolve merge conflicts\ngit commit\ngit push\n# Pipeline builds new rel-MAJOR version\n```\n\n\u003e [!Tip]\n\u003e You can find out the correct `.container` file by copying it from the corresponding tag of the https://github.com/gardenlinux/repo branch, for example [1877.0](https://github.com/gardenlinux/repo/blob/1877.0/.container)\n\n\u003e [!Note]\n\u003e We must create `rel-*` branches to include the respective `.container` file, and not use `maint-*` for backports. This is required because multiple releases can use the same kernel version (e.g. `rel-1443` and `rel-1592` both use `maint-6.6`) \n\n## Automated kernel patch level upgrades \n\nA scheduled workflow scans a list of configured branches [see](https://github.com/gardenlinux/package-linux/blob/main/.github/workflows/pr-if-new-kernel.yml#L12), and bumps the patch level of the version defined in the prepare_source file.\nThe automation creates a PR if a new patch level is available.\n\n\u003e [!Important]  \n\u003e Note that build failures in this PR will not be visible in the way you are used to it.\n\u003e This is due to limitations on GitHub.\n\u003e Always check the PR-related workflow manually before merge as it might well be that an upgrade of the kernel breaks the build.\n\u003e [See this issue for more information if you are interested](https://github.com/gardenlinux/package-linux/issues/47).\n\n\u003e [!Note]\n\u003e This is done via the [update-kernel.py](https://github.com/gardenlinux/package-linux/blob/main/update-kernel.py) tool\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgardenlinux%2Fpackage-linux","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgardenlinux%2Fpackage-linux","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgardenlinux%2Fpackage-linux/lists"}
