Package: kernel-package
Version: 11.015
Severity: normal
Apologies if I've done something stupid, but here's what happens:
I downloaded and untar'd the 2.6.28-rc8 source to /usr/local/src/linux
(I am trying to see if bug #422675 still occurs in this more recent
kernel). I made a symlink to it from /usr/src/linux. I touched nothing
else. I have full rwx permissions to the tree. My command line is
make-kpkg --append-to-version cctest --revision cc01 --config menuconfig
configure
Everything builds fine, and I get the config menu. It defaults to using
the config from the running kernel, but I load the
/boot/config-2.6.26-1-686 as suggested in bug #422675. I then save a
copy of the configuration (for checking later) and exit the
configurator:
--- BEGIN PASTE
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/x86/Kconfig
#
# using defaults found in /boot/config-2.6.10-kate
#
*** End of Linux kernel configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to build the kernel or try 'make help'.

make: *** [debian/stamp/conf/minimal_debian] Error 2
Failed to create a ./debian directory: No such file or directory at
/usr/bin/make-kpkg line 1048.
--- END PASTE
... for some reason it's not writing .config when I exit the
configurator (the file does not exist).
Like I said, apologies if I'm missing something obvious. I'm not
required to generate .config manually, am I?
Happy christmas all,
CC

Hi,
I can't seem to be able to reproduce this, but I have not been
trying with the rc series.
In any case, if the configurator is not saving the config file
(did you save in the configurator?), then it is a bug ni the upstream
KBuild, no? I don't see how changing anything in kernel-package will
fix the upstream configurator.
I suggest if the upstream configurator is not savig the file,
you report a bug upstream -- make-kpkg does nothing special, just alls
$(MAKE) <what you specified>
