Hello Why is that when I build a new kernel via make-kpkg, it doesn't make a new kernel rev.
Scenario: Previously, I built a new kernel using: make-kpkg --rev Custom.1.0 kernel_image This command built my kernel and put an file in my /usr/src directory called. kernel-image-2.0.36_1.00_i386.deb. Then I built a newer kernel using: make-kpkg --rev Custom.2.0 kernel_image This command did change the date on the existing kernel package but did not call it kernel-image-2.0.36_2.00_i386.deb nor did it put the word custom in file name either. Is this the way this thing is supposed to work? Other simple questions: 1. When I used to do regular kernel builds, I used to do a make dep; make clean; make zImage, make modules; make modules_install. If I build kernels the debian way (aka make-kpkg), do I still need to do this? How about cleaning or rebuilding the dependicy list? ie. do I need to a make clean; make dep before I do the make-kpkg? 2. Does apt-get dist-upgrade get new kernel patches? Is there a way to get new kernel patches?
