| === Version ===
| | {{Docs_beat_closed}} |
| Fedora may include additional patches to the kernel for improvements, bug fixes, or additional features. For this reason, the Fedora kernel may not be line-for-line equivalent to the so-called vanilla kernel from the kernel.org web site at http://www.kernel.org.
| |
|
| |
|
| To obtain a list of these patches, download the source RPM package and run the following command against it:
| | [[Category:Docs Project]] |
| | | [[Category:Draft documentation]] |
| rpm -qpl kernel-<version>.src.rpm
| | [[Category:Documentation beats]] |
| | |
| === Changelog ===
| |
| To retrieve a log of changes to the package, run the following command:
| |
| | |
| rpm -q --changelog kernel-<version>
| |
| | |
| If you need a user friendly version of the changelog, refer to http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges. A short and full diff of the kernel is available from http://kernel.org/git. The Fedora version kernel is based on the Linus tree.
| |
| | |
| Customizations made for the Fedora version are available from http://cvs.fedoraproject.org.
| |
| | |
| === Preparing for Kernel Development ===
| |
| Fedora 13 does not include the ''kernel-source'' package provided by older versions, since only the ''kernel-devel'' package is required now to build external modules.

| {{Admon/info | Custom Kernel Building | For information on kernel development and working with custom kernels, refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel.}}

| === Reporting Bugs ===
| |
| Refer to http://kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html for information on reporting bugs in the Linux kernel. You may also use http://bugzilla.redhat.com for reporting bugs that are specific to Fedora.
