Though if you don't want to have the '-rc6' inside the *package* name you don't have any other option than unsetting/overriding EXTRAVERSION, nor? > a better way to append a string to upstream version > (in my game "-foo" was "-grml") is to set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION: > ~/src/linux-2.6$ egrep LOCALVERSION .config > CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-grml" > # CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set > current tree called with > KDEB_PKGVERSION="grml.00~2.6.32-rc6.20091104" fakeroot make deb-pkg j=2 > results in: > dpkg-deb: building package `linux-image-2.6.32-rc6-grml' in > `../linux-image-2.6.32-rc6-grml_grml.00~2.6.32-rc6.20091104_amd64.deb'. LOCALVERSION is fine if you want to *extend* the default package name, right. > hope that helps, now soon this should end in a more readable doc.. I really like the option to use make deb-pkg for generating debian packages, should be promoted - yes. :) What I'd like to see: * possibility to build linux-headers and linux-source package * possibility to provide/maintain a non-default-template debian/changelog (a cmdline option to specify a file that should be used [as base] might be a good start?) thanks && regards, -mika- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
