severity 345939 wishlist
retitle 345939 It would be nice if kernel-headers used the new prepare target
thanks
Hi
The kernel headrs package needs the asm link, the versions.h,
and perhaps other changes that are done to the headers in a build. In
2.6, the upstream Makefile provides a prepare target, but this is not
present in 2.4 or 2.2 kernels, so we can't unilaterally use that.
I looked into conditionally using prepare, but otherwise doing
a full build, but the code got messy (we need to cater to both
dpkg-buildpackage and directly calling kernel_headers rules).
