I guess I'm not 100% sure about how to go about this. I am using freeswan 2.0 rpm for IPSEC. It's a kernel module, compiled against 2.4.20-8 kernel and some utilities. Freeswan doesn't have x.509 support but there is a patch for it. I assume I need the 2.4.20-8 kernel source to build modules against it.. and probably need to build it as well... can I do this with redhat SRPMS somehow?
I really am not familiar with building kernels anymore... haven't done it for at least 5 years now and RPMs are a lot easier to manage when I have to upgrade... which seems more and more frequent these days (seems like rh8 was only around for a few months - but time flies as well...)
Is this the way to go about it, or can I build a new module for redhat without building the kernel as well?
Thanks
Bill

Hi,
I'd like to patch and then build a kernel from SRPM. Is this possible? and is there any howto on it?
i'm not sure what you're trying to do here. if you get a red hat SRPM, it *already* has the red hat patches incorporated in it, so just build it like a regular SRPM.
or you can get a stock, pristine kernel from www.kernel.org, and *then* you can download patches from the same place on top of that.
it's not clear precisely what you're after here.
