[Web10g-user] centos7 kernel compile

[rapier]

I thought I should make a point of clarification.

I do have patches specifically for the current CentOS kernel but those 
are mostly being used in house because we rely on proprietary kernel 
modules (omnipath drivers) that are only available for the official 
CentOS kernel.

If you aren't relying on CentOS specific kernel modules you can install 
the generic Linux kernel without any notable difference in performance 
or functionality. If that's the case I would suggest getting the 
official Web10g repo from https://github.com/rapier1/web10g. List the 
tags and checkout the kis tag that corresponds to the kernel you want to 
build. For example, if you wanted the latest Linux kernel you would 
issue 'git checkout kis-0.13-4.18'. Then just configure and build the 
rpm package.

If you want the patch set that's specific to the centos kernel I have 
one for linux-3.10.0-693.21.1.el7. I can post the patch or send it to 
you. If you like I can also just upload some prebuilt rpms to google 
drive for you. I will work on getting the web10g-centos repo up to date 
but that might take some time as I have a few other projects on my plate.

Let me know what works best for you.
