This is designed to be a list of ways you can contribute to the Fedora kernel. Some of these items are always available, some are projects that can be removed once completed

  • Report bugs to the upstream kernel community. The kernel is a very big project and it's often necessary to get help directly from the upstream maintainers.
  • Test rawhide kernels. Rawhide is where we try to find the bugs before the kernels hit stable.
  • Run scripts/check-patchlist.sh and note any patches that are unlisted in both the kernel.spec and the patch list. Maintainers try to run this regularly but sometimes they miss things.
  • Run scripts/check-configs.pl and note configs that could possibly be deleted.
  • The config files are large and enormous. Can they be refactored to be smaller and more managable?
