| Summary | 0001281: change CONFIG_WERROR=y to '# CONFIG_WERROR is not set' | ||||
| Description | Hello, While the kernel default for CONFIG_WERROR is =y this makes some out-of-tree modules fail to compile. (e.g. OpenAFS) It appears that Debian and Fedora both set this value in their kernel configs to '# CONFIG_WERROR is not set' which is the same as =n. http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-signed-amd64/linux-image-6.0.0-2-amd64_6.0.5-1_amd64.deb https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel/blob/e47cadcd9c80ec938c7b744d4296f42ce0fabc75/f/kernel-x86_64- Further, I don't believe this will harm the function of ELRepo's kernels. CONFIG_WERROR=y forces a certain standard on the developers of the in-tree kernel code, but turning it off on released kernel code should have no functional effect. Thanks for considering and your work! C. | ||||

Looking at the master configuration files, for both kernel-lt and kernel-ml, I see the following -- [kernels]$ grep -r 'CONFIG_WERROR' * | sort | grep -E '6\.0\.6|6\.1\.0' el7/config-6.0/config-6.0.6-x86_64:CONFIG_WERROR=y el7/config-6.1/config-6.1.0-x86_64:CONFIG_WERROR=y el8/config-6.0/config-6.0.6-x86_64:CONFIG_WERROR=y el8/config-6.1/config-6.1.0-x86_64:CONFIG_WERROR=y el9/config-6.0/config-6.0.6-aarch64:# CONFIG_WERROR is not set el9/config-6.0/config-6.0.6-x86_64:# CONFIG_WERROR is not set el9/config-6.1/config-6.1.0-aarch64:# CONFIG_WERROR is not set el9/config-6.1/config-6.1.0-x86_64:# CONFIG_WERROR is not set [kernels]$ I have, therefore, queued the deselection of that option for the next builds of the kernel-ml package set (both el7 & el8). Thank you for drawing my attention to the inconsistency. |

With the recent update of the kernel-ml package set, for both el7 [1] and el8 [2], this request has now been fulfilled. [kernels]$ grep -r 'CONFIG_WERROR' * | sort | grep '6\.0\.7' el7/config-6.0/config-6.0.7-x86_64:# CONFIG_WERROR is not set el8/config-6.0/config-6.0.7-x86_64:# CONFIG_WERROR is not set el9/config-6.0/config-6.0.7-aarch64:# CONFIG_WERROR is not set el9/config-6.0/config-6.0.7-x86_64:# CONFIG_WERROR is not set [kernels]$ Now closing as "resolved/fixed".
