Hi,  
I have SLES 3.12.28-4-default and I am looking for kernel sources package, I need to compile my kernel driver, since I #include some /fs/btrfs/ sources  
I need to download the kernel source package from online repository and not via zypper since i dont have active subscription.  
Is it possible ? where do i get it from ?\

Thanks

I think there may also be a ‘kernel-headers’ package, or something along  
those lines in terms of a name, which is made to let you do things like  
build third-party stuff without having the full kernel source. Perhaps  
see if that is part of the repositories you can access and go from there.

–  
Good luck.

“SLES 3.12.28-4-default” is not a valid SLES version and release - I  
think you’re mixing up product and kernel version. Please can you let us  
know which version and release of SLES you’re using? Please post the  
output from “cat /etc/\*release”.

The answer may depend on the SLES version you’re using.
