Packaging

Describes how to build and install the rpm packages (CentOS 6.x or higher).

Preferences

  • Install the rpm-build package.

[root@bsr-01 bsr]# yum install rpm-build

It may require the following additional installations on CentOS 8:

[root@bsr-01 bsr]# dnf install kernel-rpm-macros kernel-abi-whitelists

  • Create the rpm build path.

[root@bsr-01 bsr]# mkdir /root/rpmbuild [root@bsr-01 bsr]# mkdir /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES

 

Kernel modules

  • make the rpm package

[root@bsr-01 bsr]# make kmp-rpm
  • When rpm build is completed, kmod-bsr rpm package is created in the following location.

  • Install with rpm command.

  • Load the bsr module.

 

When installing rpm, the default path of the module for bsr is /lib/modules/(kernel_version)/extra/bsr/bsr.ko. If the bsr module is already loaded from a different path, you must remove the loaded bsr module and re-create the dependencies.
(If the dependency is not regenerated, the previous path will be referenced when loading the module)
