Niltze all,

Posted a blog entry yesterday as proof-of-concept (PoC)
"Coyolxauhqui: Build Reiser4 -patched Linux Kernel, Headers, and Modules, for \
Stretch-Backports the 'Debian Way'." < \
https://metztli.it/blog/index.php/coyolxauhqui-build-reiser4-patched-linux >

showing how to apply reiser4 patch to Linux kernel the 'Debian way'. Detailed \
procedure notions may be generalized to keep up with subsequent reiser4 on Debian \
AMD64; and perhaps other architectures.

This is specially true since as debian debian packaging kernel maintainers modify \
their code and/or patches I have experienced lapses where I have to figure out why \
something broke my build.

For instance it happened during the debian linux 4.11 to 4.12 minor increment -- even \
debian official builds were missing linux-headers-[]-common-* DEB package. < \
https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2017/08/msg00146.html >

To that end, I just hope creative, open/curiosity-minded hackers and/or developers \
may find the PoC useful so as to increase the pool of developers who may later \
contribute to a reiser4 community.

As a matter of fact, the source that I used to illustrate the reiser4 hacking \
procedure the 'debian way' generated DEBs that were subsequently uploaded to source \
forge. < https://sourceforge.net/projects/metztli-reiser4/files/Reiser4-Linux-4.13.7-2_for-Stretch/ \
> Currently I am using the reiser4 enabled kernel 4.13.7-2 that I built by the \
> procedure described in the blog.

Additionally, as I decommissioned an earlier Reiser4 Debian Jessie (old stable) small \
cloud instance web server -- which had been operating for approximately 2 years on \
Google Compute Engine (GCE) and only rebooted for kernel upgrade < \
                https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMFzxPwVQAAApHt.jpg:large >
-- I migrated the data to a Metztli-Reiser4 image cloud instance on GCE, too; on both \
I built PHP [5/6/7].x and HTTPD 2.4.[20/27] No data loss.


Best Professional Regards.
