Package: dh-kpatches
Version: 0.99.10
Severity: normal
When attempting to apply a couple of patches that modify the top level
Makefile's EXTRAVERSION value, kernel-patch scripts in Debian 3.0 made
with dh-kpatches exit returning 0 and don't give an error message. This
makes the make-kpkg program think that every thing's OK. Running the
scripts by hand is even more puzzling because nothing seems to happen.
In my case the lsm and xfs patches appear to add -lsm and -xfs
respectively to the EXTRAVERSION value. This may be SOP documented
somewhere for keeping conflicting patches from applying auto magically,
but it even keeps the debianlogo patch from applying unless it is
applied first in the list and there isn't a message as to why it failed.
make-kpkg makes it seem that it actually worked when it didn't (not
make-kpkg's fault). It seems that the IDX seeking loop finds no patch
matching for example 2.4.17-lsm and the program exits success (0) at the
last line.
An else condition for if [ "$IDX" ] that gave an error message and
exited with a failure would help.
Pseudo-patch:
----
else
echo >&2 ""<patchname>" patch for $KVERSION does not apply cleanly"
fi
+else
+ echo >&2 "Unable to find a patch matching $KERNELRELEASE"
+ echo >&2 "Try setting KPATCH_<patchid> to the target patch version"
+ if [ -n "$EXTRAVERSION" ]
+ then
+ echo >&2 "or applying patches that set $EXTRAVERSION after this
patch"
+ fi
+ exit 1
fi
###
exit 0
----
Example of trying to apply patches with make-kpkg:
----
$ fakeroot make-kpkg --added-patches=lsm,debianlogo,xfs debian
...
Testing whether LSM Support for Linux patch for 2.4.17 applies (dry run):
LSM Support for Linux patch for 2.4.17 succeeded
Removing empty files after patching:
Done.
Patch /usr/src/kernel-patches/all//apply/lsm processed fine
Patch /usr/src/kernel-patches/all//apply/debianlogo processed fine
Patch /usr/src/kernel-patches/all//apply/xfs processed fine
touch stamp-patch
...

I see that you've completely changed the code for this program in recent
versions, but hopefully this bug will leave a trace for others using
patches made with this package in 3.0/Woody.
Thanks for all your work. :)
