I'm running Sid -- up-to-date except for a small number of held and broken packages -- and have two questions about kernel source and compiling.
1) I have previously gotten, built, and used Debian's kernel source packages, such as kernel-source-2.6.10 and kernel-source-2.6.11. In the last few days, aptitude shows a new source package, linux-source-2.6.12. It is the only (non-virtual) package whose name begins with 'linux-source'. Do the Debian kernel source packages use a new naming convention or is this new package a vanilla kernel (or something else)? 2) GCC 4.0 is now the default compiler series. When I run 'make menuconfig' or 'make-kpkg kernel_image', I get a large number of warnings -- these warnings are not generated by GCC 3.3, so I have modified the top-level kernel Makefile to use gcc-3.3 and g++-3.3. Should I use GCC 4.0 for compiling the kernel (and ignore the warnings) or continue to use GCC 3.3? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
