====== New Kernel Release HOWTO ======

What to do if kernel-autobuild has to be prepared for a new kernel release.

<code>
REL=3.13

mkdir /var/lib/kernel-autobuild/${REL}
VG=$( vgs --noheadings | awk '{print $1}' )
lvcreate ${VG} -n kernbuild${REL//./} -L 100G
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/${VG}/kernbuild${REL//./}
vo -o /etc/fstab
echo /dev/${VG}/kernbuild${REL//./} /var/lib/kernel-autobuild/${REL} ext4 noatime,nodiratime 0 0 > /etc/fstab
vo -i /etc/fstab
mount /var/lib/kernel-autobuild/${REL}
mkdir  /var/lib/kernel-autobuild/${REL}/00-resources

cd /var/lib/kernel-autobuild/${REL}
script -c "kernel-autobuild --kernel-base-version ${REL} --identify-sources" 1st
</code>

which results in
<code>
  KSRCURL    http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.13.1.tar.xz
  PURL       http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Experimental/patch-3.13.1-vs2.3.6.10.diff
  LASTCONFIG /boot/config-3.10.11-vs2.3.6.6+lihas1
</code>

so:
<code>
    script -c "kernel-autobuild --kernel-base-version ${REL} " typescript3131
</code>

/!\ But ... the new kernel fails here :-( /!\ 

kvm start fails:
