When you are ready to submit your changes to Qubes to be merged, push your changes, then create a signed git tag (using `git tag -s`). Finally, send a letter to the Qubes listserv describing the changes and including the link to your repository. Don't forget to include your public PGP key you use to sign your tags.
### Kernel-specific notes
#### Prepare fresh version of kernel sources, with Qubes-specific patches applied
In qubes-builder/qubes-src/kernel:
``` {.wiki}
make prep
```
The resulting tree will be in kernel-\<VERSION\>/linux-\<VERSION\>:
``` {.wiki}
ls -ltrd kernel*/linux*
```
``` {.wiki}
drwxr-xr-x 23 user user 4096 Nov 5 09:50 kernel-3.4.18/linux-3.4.18
drwxr-xr-x 6 user user 4096 Nov 21 20:48 kernel-3.4.18/linux-obj
```
#### Go to the kernel tree and update the version
In qubes-builder/qubes-src/kernel:
``` {.wiki}
cd kernel-3.4.18/linux-3.4.18
```
#### Changing the config ===
In kernel-3.4.18/linux-3.4.18:
``` {.wiki}
cp ../../config-pvops .config
make oldconfig
```
Now change the configuration. For example, in kernel-3.4.18/linux-3.4.18:
``` {.wiki}
make menuconfig
```
``` {.wiki}
cp .config ../../../config-pvops
```
#### Patching the code
TODO: describe the workflow for patching the code, below are some random notes, not working well
``` {.wiki}
ln -s ../../patches.xen
export QUILT_PATCHES=patches.xen
export QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="-p ab --no-timestamps --no-index"
export QUILT_SERIES=../../series-pvops.conf
quilt new patches.xen/pvops-3.4-0101-usb-xen-pvusb-driver-bugfix.patch
quilt add drivers/usb/host/Kconfig drivers/usb/host/Makefile \
drivers/usb/host/xen-usbback/* drivers/usb/host/xen-usbfront.c \
include/xen/interface/io/usbif.h
*edit something*
quilt refresh
cd ../..
vi series-pvops.conf
```
#### Building RPMS
TODO: Is this step generic for all subsystems?
Now it is a good moment to make sure you have changed kernel release name in rel-pvops file. For example, if you change it to '1debug201211116c' the resulting RPMs will be named 'kernel-3.4.18-1debug20121116c.pvops.qubes.x86\_64.rpm'. This will help distinguish between different versions of the same package.
You might want to take a moment here to review (git diff, git status), commit your changes locally.
To actually build RPMS, in qubes-src/kernel:
``` {.wiki}
make rpms
```
RPMS will appear in qubes-src/kernel/rpm/x86\_64:
``` {.wiki}

### Useful [QubesBuilder](/wiki/QubesBuilder) commands
1. *make check* - will check if all the code was commited into repository and if all repository are tagged with signed tag.
