Hi all, Are there any additional repositories that provide RPMs for older kernels? In particular I am looking of lustre client modules for 1.6.7 for a 2.6.9-55.0.2 (centos/rhel 4.5) kernel. If not, is there a way to build RPMs for just the kernel modules? It is my impression that ''make RPMs'' builds RPMs for everything. Cordially, Jordan Mendler (sent from my phone)

I tend to doubt it though and make rpms will build the utils RPM as well. Adding a --without utils rpm build option to the spec would be trivial. Patches will be happily accepted. :-) b. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It''s not like the other RPMs will take a huge amount of time. Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger Sr. Staff Engineer, Lustre Group Sun Microsystems of Canada, Inc.
