Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-powerpc
Version: 2.6.32-29
Severity: wishlist
The Lenny PPC kernel image packages included the device tree sources,
which are normally found in arch/powerpc/boot/dts in the Linux sources.
This isn't the case anymore for the Squeeze kernel packages. It looks
like this change in the rules.real makefile is responsible for the
problem:

For Squeeze the build_$(ARCH)_$(FEATURESET)_$(FLAVOUR) directory only
contains the compiled objects files and makefiles. Thus the
bootwrapper_install target (called by the install target in rules.real)
in build_$(ARCH)_$(FEATURESET)_$(FLAVOUR)/arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile
can't find any *.dts files and silently fails to install them.
While CHRP and PPC64 machines don't need any device tree sources, I
need them to add support for other platforms that don't boot from an
OpenFirmware compatible firmware. I'm not sure how a correct fix should
look like, but maybe the dts directory could be explicitly copied over
to the build directory, if a kernel is compiled for ARCH=powerpc.
regards,
Gerhard
