Package kernel for openSUSE name

[TobiPeterG]

Hi guys,
I would like to package the kernel for opensuse by applying your patch set on top of opensuse's default kernel. I would like to name the kernel kernel-ogc, but I'm afraid that users might report issues to you because of the name, even though it's not official.
Would you be ok for you if I named it kernel-ogc?

I'd prefer not if we're not the ones maintaining it. That being said, I don't see why we couldn't do an official openSUSE build in the ci. Do you know if openSUSE has patches on top of mainline, or is it primarily a custom kconfig?

Hey, thank you for the quick reply, especially on a Sunday Saturday. :)
I fully understand your position. An official build would of course be optimal.
Opensuse does have a few patches on top of mainline. This is their kernel source repo with the current Tumbleweed kernel:
https://github.com/openSUSE/kernel-source/tree/stable

Packages for opensuse are usually built in OBS (Open build service). All packages in the Tumbleweed repos are built there and OBS e.g. automatically creates a repo for packages created through it. So if this would be possible, it would be perfect (workflow would be to clone the kernel-source repo, add a custom build flavor, add the patches and create the OBS project with the spec files etc. with a command and push that). This would also allow easy building of e.g. KMPs for the kernel. If you're interested in that, I would definitely be willing to help you with that. Shouldn't be too hard to automate :)
Might even allow bringing the kernel to the Tumbleweed repos later on, though I'm not sure if the security guys of SUSE would be happy with that ;)

I'm not familiar with OBS. @KyleGospo manages our build CI, he'd be the best to discuss specifics with

Yes that's absolutely fine, we'd also appreciate a PR to build for OpenSUSE here too, if only to keep the build systems centralized. We don't have to advertise them. Should be similar enough to the Fedora ones we have here today.

Thank you both :)
How do you manage building kernel modules and creating repos with the packages built here?
