From 31ad6acced8426a374d5af3701d0cfdbf58cb3da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Larsson Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 09:02:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add minimal -devel packages as needed to build kernel modules As discussed in the forum[1], package layering can work for building kernel modules, such as the nvidia driver. However, there are some problems with the -devel packages needed, as they need to match the exact version in the base image, and once the version bumps in the yum repo the old version isn't even available. So, this adds the minimal set of -devel packages needed to build a a kmod. This isn't enough to build a kernel module, but the rest needed can much more easily be layered. Given the current rawhide dependencies this adds the following packages: * elfutils-libelf-devel * glibc-devel * glibc-headers * kernel-devel * kernel-headers * libxcrypt-devel * zlib-devel This adds about 100 megs to a 4 gigabyte image, which I think is a fair compromise in order to be able to build kernel modules and support the nvidia drivers.
