--- Begin Message ---Hi!To test something, I need to rebuild the official Debian Linux kernel package, so I'm following <https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official> "4.2. Rebuilding official Debian kernel packages". # apt-get --purge install build-essential fakeroot # apt-get --purge build-dep linux/testing $ apt-get source linux/testing $ cd linux-5.4.19/ As disk space is limited, I'd like to build with debug info disabled, so per the instructions given I "disable debug info by changing the value of 'debug-info' to 'false' in 'debian/config/defines'". I ignored the "(or 'debian/config/*arch*/defines' in older package versions)" remark, as I didn't think I was building an "older package version". $ PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH $ fakeroot debian/rules source $ fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_none_686-pae After a few hours that exploded with "disk full", and indeed 'CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y' is set in 'debian/build/build_i386_none_686-pae/.config' (the file matches '/boot/config-5.4.0-4-686-pae'). I now see: $ grep -r -B1 debug-info debian/config/ debian/config/amd64/defines-[build] debian/config/amd64/defines:debug-info: true -- debian/config/s390x/defines-[s390x_build] debian/config/s390x/defines:debug-info: true -- debian/config/hppa/defines-# temporarily disable debug info: Required disk size exceeds our hppa buildd machines. debian/config/hppa/defines:debug-info: false -- debian/config/defines-[build] debian/config/defines:debug-info: true -- debian/config/arm64/defines-[build] debian/config/arm64/defines:debug-info: true -- debian/config/i386/defines-[686-pae_build] debian/config/i386/defines:debug-info: true ..., so I'll try again with setting 'debug-info' to 'false' both in 'debian/config/defines' and 'debian/config/i386/defines'. Why do some of these configuration files override the generic one (without giving rationale), and/or do the kernel-handbook instructions need to be updated? Grüße Thomassignature.asc
