# GeneriKit
Generic patches. Those that were revoked by the sages.

## Usage

Having to patch a file and build a entire kernel is a medium-level of knowledge to the majority of users.

But choosing which file to compile is a hard task. And that is what this repository is for.

## Dependencies

In the middle of the repository jouney, most of the systems will have a automated install.

But this day is most likely to happen very far from now. So, consider having the following:

- git
- wget
- gcc
- make
- Linux Headers

The headers are important because it creates a `/lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/build` file, which is used to build the modules.

## Building

Building for now is very dirty. But, hey, "if it works, it works!":
```sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/KanuX-14/GeneriKit.git
cd GeneriKit
make modules && sudo make install clean
```
Note: Where ``, put the drivers you want to compile.

## Inspiration

One time this patch got revoked by the zen-kernel programmers.

Just like they said:
> "I'd really prefer we don't add code for fakes."

Even knowing it is generic, the device continue being a device.

## Contribution

You are more than welcome to submit a driver that got revoked by the team.

If your driver bugs some architecture, consider putting a `warning.txt` file within the directory.

All the contribution should be directly sent to the `devel` branch.
```sh
git checkout devel
```
