This is the current spec file I'm trying to use to build the nouveau kernel. (2.23 KB, application/octet-stream)

Hi to all,
         I have a question about building my own custom kernel using the rpm-tools. I can build the kernel modules using the out-of-tree build against my latest kernel from Fedora Rawhide with no problems. I have bult my own custom kernel using make xconfig,make clean, make modules, make modules_install,and finally, dracut -f /boot/initramfs <kernel version>.img <kernel version>

My only bug-bear by doing the make modules method is that it took a total of 5 1/2 hours with my Athlon XP 3,000 machine.So I looked at building the nouveau kernel faster using the rpm-tools methodHere is the link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo

I have built a skeleton spec file using rpm-spec, and filled in the details from the kernel section of Fedora Koji,and the Fedora rpm-tools howto.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo

I've ran rpmlint -i linux-2.6.36-nouveau.i686.spec to test my spec file,but I keep getting this error:

linux-2.6.36-nouveau.i686.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: /root/opt/linux-2.6/linux-2.6.36-nouveau.tar.gz
The value should be a valid, public HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP URL.

I've tried both url's for the linux-2.6 git repository,and also linus's url for the kernel,but I still keep getting the same error.

I have attached the spec file I've been using to see where I've been going wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
       STEVE555

You can compile drm modules against your kernel:

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
