GeneriKit

Generic patches. Those that were revoked by the sages.

Usage

Having to patch a file and build a entire kernel is a medium-level of knowledge to the majority of users.
But choosing which file to compile is a hard task. And that is what this repository is for.

Dependencies

In the middle of the repository jouney, most of the systems will have a automated install.
But this day is most likely to happen very far from now. So, consider having the following:

• git
• wget
• gcc
• make
• Linux Headers

The headers are important because it creates a /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/build file, which is used to build the modules.

Building

Building for now is very dirty. But, hey, "if it works, it works!":

git clone --recursive https://github.com/KanuX-14/GeneriKit.git
cd GeneriKit
make <modules> modules && sudo make install clean

Note: Where <modules>, put the drivers you want to compile.

Inspiration

One time this patch got revoked by the zen-kernel programmers.
Just like they said:

"I'd really prefer we don't add code for fakes."

Even knowing it is generic, the device continue being a device.

Contribution

You are more than welcome to submit a driver that got revoked by the team.
If your driver bugs some architecture, consider putting a warning.txt file within the directory.

All the contribution should be directly sent to the devel branch.

git checkout devel
