Pardon me if I sound like a newbie here. I am fairly new to the Debian way, but I am a Linux veteran. I have noticed that there are patches available in the debian package tree for the XFS filesystem but there are no available kernel-image packages with XFS already built in. Is there a specific reason for this or is it just because no one has stepped forward to offer such a package?
If the latter is true I would be willing to be a maintainer for a kernel-*-xfs package set if no one else is working on it. I haven't been able to find any references specific to making kernel packages in the packaging manual or the policies so I'm also curious about whether or not official debian kernel packages are created with the make-kpkg command or if it has to be done with dpkg-deb tool. I've used the make-kpkg command to create kernel packages, but they always come out with a custom-1.00 label on them and I haven't figured out how to get around that. Thanx, Russ -- Russel H.
