feat: Add and publish kernel-devel package #1156
Conversation
This recipe is based on the Fedora kernel-devel RPM build spec [1]. The purpose of this image is to have a published smaller image to use as a prerequisite when building external modules for the corresponding kernel. As a comparison, the size of this kernel-devel image for amd64 is 96 MiB vs 12.8 GiB for the complete kernel-build intermediate image with all of the sources and object files.

I don't understand, there are no key files in this image AFAIK? The important feature here is to get the Module.symvers along with any generated headers and Makefiles in order to be able to build external modules as extensions to the Talos upstream kernel without having to compile the same kernel on my local machine and throwing away the results. The whole kernel along with the external modules need to be signed by a key that is on the local build machine, but it does not need to recompile everything in order to do that. |

The build stage generates an ephemeral signing key, so I would stay away from publishing any output of it without huge risk. Not sure how you see using this output without having the key matching the kernel. So too many questions without answers. |
