Howdy folks! Wanting to install a 4.9-series Kernel, I followed the instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug, but wasn't able to get any newer kernels:
$ sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/fedora-rawhide-ke...

There appear to be no kernels available at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/ppc64/repodata/. Am I doing something wrong?

They are in koji. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=824906
You'll need kernel, kernel-core, kernel-modules for most baremetal installations; so what I do is just click on those three for my arch, and 'sudo dnf install *rpm' and they get installed. You might also want kernel-headers and kernel-devel depending on what you're doing. The 4.9.0 final release is a nodebug kernel, which is what that URL points to.
For rc1+ kernels, you'd get a git0.1 build which has nodebug and explicitly named debug kernels. The git1+ kernels are typically debug, there aren't any nodebug. The best way to know for certain is to read the changelog, that'll tell you if debug was recently enabled or disabled (and it's a sticky change so it applies until the log says it's changed). Right now there are rc0 builds only and it looks like those are all debug.

You could get this one: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=824906 Download the rpms you want for your architecture, and then use dnf -C to install from them locally.
Thanks everyone. So is the information on the wiki page I read out of date, and in need of changing?

I don't use that page, so I don't know. It's possible, given your experience. But rawhide is in flux right now with some python 3.6 issues, so this could just be a transient problem.

Well the repodata in that location looks up to date but I can't figure out where it's pointing to find nodebug kernels.
The vast majority of the time I use rc1 (or higher) git0 kernels, but if I need something more recent and nodebug, you can fairly quickly build one yourself and do:
cp /boot/config-4.9.0-1.fc26.x86_64 .config make localmodconfig ## answer n to all questions make -j4
For me this takes 15 minutes to build from scratch. If you make any config changes or add patches, somehow it ends up only building things that are affected by the change, typically this is less than 5 minutes.
Reference: https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild
Sorry about this, it was an issue with the machine that hosts those repositories needing a koji update to pull packages. This is working now. Rawhide-nodebug is currently behind as a result of some config issues that I didn't take time to debug over the holiday, but that should be resolved today.
Thanks, Justin
