| Luca | hi guys | 17:38 |
|---|---|---|
| Luca | i have a question for you | 17:38 |
| Luca | is there any repo i can add for updating raspberrypi 4 kernel ? | 17:38 |
| gnarface | stick around, someone might know, but it's a slow channel so you might have to be patient | 17:40 |
| Luca | ok | 17:40 |
| Luca | meanwhile i'm trying to compile kernel 6.2 by myself | 17:40 |
| Luca | last time i did it we are on kernel 2.6 | 17:40 |
| Luca | *were | 17:41 |
| gnarface | ah | 17:41 |
| gnarface | well make sure to install the "build-essential" package | 17:41 |
| gnarface | and also apt-get build-dep for the kernel package itself | 17:41 |
| gnarface | that should get most the stuff, you might need to add a couple things manually still | 17:42 |
| gnarface | i seem to often have to install bison/yacc individually for example | 17:42 |
| bb|hcb | Luca: As far as I am aware, there is no such repo. Images for raspberry come with a kernel and modules managed out of the distro and you can only update the other packages via apt. There are tools (like rpi-update) that update the kernel, but I remember cases where this one would fail - go for it only if you can easily reinstall | 22:13 |
| c0rnelius | There is a script for updating the kernels called `fetch` but its now EOL. The short of it is, people need to build one them selves if they wanna update. Probs be a good idea to touch base with the img maintainer and see if the kernels that are built when new images are generated can be uploaded somewhere for users. | 22:22 |
| bb|hcb | Yes it is a good idea. BTW. now I see that rpi-update is no longer maintained by hexxeh but became an official raspbian thing | 22:28 |
