# Using "foreign" kernels
|
|
|
|
This directory contains a number of scripts to re-package other
|
|
distributions kernels into a LinuxKit kernel package. The scripts
|
|
download the relevant `rpm`s or `deb`s and create a local docker image
|
|
which can be used in LinuxKit. You can optionally push the package to
|
|
hub, if you like.
|
|
|
|
All scripts take slightly different command line arguments (which
|
|
could be improved) as each distribution uses different naming
|
|
conventions and repository layouts.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
To build a package using the `4.14.11` from the mainline [ppa
|
|
repository](http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline), first
|
|
build the package:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./mainline.sh foobar/kernel-mainline v4.14.11 041411 201801022143
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here `v4.14.11` is the sub-directory of the [ppa
|
|
repository](http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline), `041411`
|
|
seems to be another version used in the name of the `deb`s, and
|
|
`201801022143` is the date. You can find the names by browsing the
|
|
[ppa repository](http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The result is a local image `foobar/kernel-mainline:4.14.11`, which
|
|
can be used in a YAML file like a normal LinuxKit kernel image.
