Also, the "deb-pkg" target is recommended but the section about using 'make-kpkg' which used to be included and worked well for many years was deleted Please consider adding a link to the excellent document 'Creating a Custom Linux Kernel in Debian GNU/Linux' (http://users.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm) to the 'further information' section. That guide is very comprehensive, documents both the 'deb-pkg' and 'make-kpkg' methods, and is updated on a regular basis (last update 7/28/13) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

That is addressed recently in VCS and pending. As for the removal of make-kpkg is intentional. Recording all info is not the objective of this document. > Please consider adding a link to the excellent document > 'Creating a Custom Linux Kernel in Debian GNU/Linux' > (http://users.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm)i Interesting doc. But again, this document is not about collecting URL references. I link only to * upstream * debian (incl. wiki) * wikipedia > to the 'further information' section.

So I am closing this bug without uploading. Osamu
