-cloud and -rt are not featuresets, so they don't carry own patches and are handled differently. > But I'm not quite happy with the result yet: > - When I build this, I also always build the other featuresets including > base featureset, which > - are then also included in the dsc and source tar and | --- /dev/null | +++ b/debian/config.local/amd64/defines.toml | @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ | +[[featureset]] | +name = 'none' | +enable = false or so. > I hope you could help me to find a recommended more "Debian way" to do all of > this: > - How to I best add a new featureset with new patches ans slightly altered > config and The easier way is to rename the source package: | --- a/debian/changelog | +++ b/debian/changelog | @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ | -linux (7.2.2-1~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium | +linux-tuxedo (7.2.2-1~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium | | * New upstream stable update: | There is one small fix needed to actually make that work right now: | --- a/debian/bin/gencontrol.py | +++ b/debian/bin/gencontrol.py | @@ -557,7 +557,7 @@ class Gencontrol(Base): | 'upstreamversion': self.version.linux_version_full, | 'version': self.version.linux_version, | 'version_complete': self.version.complete, | - 'source_basename': re.sub(r'-[\d.]+$', '', | + 'source_basename': re.sub(r'-\S+$', '', | self.changelog[0].source), | 'source_upstream': self.version.upstream, | 'source_package': self.changelog[0].source, This then renames most of the packages to contain -tuxedo in the names, so they can be easily identified. > - only build that to be installed alongside the not rebuild base, -rt, and > -cloud featuresets. You still need to disable them, using properly placed "enable = false".
