Rename spec file from kernel.spec to kernel-clk6.12.spec.
Introduce %{pkg_suffix} macro (clk%{patchversion}) and use it for:
- package_name: kernel-%{pkg_suffix}
- tool packages: perf, python3-perf, libperf, rtla, rv
Tool packages now named:
- perf-%{pkg_suffix}
- python3-perf-%{pkg_suffix}
- libperf-%{pkg_suffix}
- libperf-%{pkg_suffix}-devel
- rtla-%{pkg_suffix}
- rv-%{pkg_suffix}
- *-debuginfo variants
Each tool package includes:
- Provides: <original-name> = %{specrpmversion}-%{release}
- Conflicts: <original-name>
Adds Provides and Conflicts tags to kernel-clk6.12-* packages that
cannot be parallel installed with stock Rocky kernel packages:
- kernel-doc
- kernel-headers
- kernel-cross-headers
- kernel-debuginfo-common
- kernel-tools
- kernel-tools-libs
- kernel-tools-libs-devel
- kernel-selftests-internal
This allows these packages to satisfy dependencies for stock kernel
packages while preventing simultaneous installation with stock Rocky
kernel tools.
Remove gemini switch, which comes from kernel-ark and is part of their
solution for a kernel variant that should supplant the factory kernel.
Fix config file naming in %prep to use %{name} instead of hardcoded
'kernel' prefix.
Update generate_tarball.sh to reference kernel-clk6.12.spec.
Switch Module.symvers compression from the dynamic %compression macro (xz) to hardcoded gzip -c9, matching the upstream kernel spec. Also fixes the ghost file permissions from 0644 to 0600.

Inject +%{pkg_suffix} into KVERREL and the shell-level equivalents
(KernelVer, DevelDir, EXTRAVERSION) so that uname -r shows the CLK
kernel identity, e.g. 6.12.78-1.1.el9_ciq.x86_64+clk6.12.

- Consolidate version defines (kernel_major_minor, kernel_patch, buildid)
- Derive specversion, pkgrelease, tarfile_release from base defines
- Rework -default package with proper scriptlets and kernel-provider
- Convert tools subpackages to short form naming
- Bundle bindgen-cli for Rocky 9.6 builds
- Export GRUB_NON_STANDARD_KERNEL to prevent boot default hijacking
- Update generate_tarball.sh for new version scheme
Fix Provides/Requires to use %{name} instead of hardcoded kernel
Package names should use %{name} (kernel-clk6.12) instead of hardcoded
'kernel' in Provides and Requires to ensure dependency resolution works
correctly for CLK kernels.
Adds 'Provides: kernel = version' to base package for compatibility with packages depending on generic kernel capability.
Add versioned Provides for kernel-headers, kernel-devel, and kernel-devel-<arch> so the namespaced CLK packages satisfy the same dependency capabilities as stock Rocky kernel packages. Remove Conflicts on kernel-headers and kernel-cross-headers since the namespaced packages now provide those capabilities directly.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this was an accident on no longer being a stub ... its still commented out in the SPEC as well.

…ons, ipaclones
Replace remaining hardcoded 'kernel' references with %{name} in:
- kernel_kvm_package: Summary, Requires, Provides, %description
- uki-virt-addons: Requires
- kernel_ipaclones_package: Summary
- Add set -e so the script exits on any command failure - Add -f (--fail) to curl so HTTP errors are caught - Verify the downloaded crate against the known SHA256 from crates.io before extracting

Continuation of PR #1065 which got automatically closed because ciq-6.12.y got updated.
This PR brings CLK 6.12 in sync with CLK 6.18 with respect to namespacing
for Rocky 9.6, and exports GRUB_NON_STANDARD_KERNEL to prevent boot menu hijacking. Also fixes Provides/Requires to use %{name} instead of hardcoded "kernel".
The changes to add generic kernel-headers and kernel-devel Provides is not currently in 6.18, but a PR exists to add them to 6.18 as well: #1155
