Hi, I'd like to build Debian packages for OVS that work with a custom kernel. I see that these are built already for stock Ubuntu kernels at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch and for Ubuntu natty at http://openvswitch.org/releases/binaries/1.2.2.10448/natty_amd64/
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with a custom 3.0.0 kernel. Building appears easy enough with OVS 1.2.1: cd openvswitch dpkg-buildpackage ... work, and makes a bunch of packages. However, this doesn't appear to build the kernel module - I see nothing with 'find . -name *.ko'. When I go to install, this happens: brandonh@ubuntu:~/ovs_debs$ sudo dpkg -i openvswitch-switch_1.2.1-1_amd64.deb Selecting previously deselected package openvswitch-switch. (Reading database ... 53352 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking openvswitch-switch (from openvswitch-switch_1.2.1-1_amd64.deb) ... Setting up openvswitch-switch (1.2.1-1) ... FATAL: Module openvswitch_mod not found. * Inserting openvswitch module invoke-rc.d: initscript openvswitch-switch, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing openvswitch-switch (--install): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for man-db ... Processing triggers for ureadahead ... Errors were encountered while processing: openvswitch-switch Some questions: (1) The OVS kmod builds fine the usual way on this system against the custom kernel. Is there some way to have that build + install with a .deb package automatically? (2) Is there any OVS-specific debian package documentation that I missed? (3) Is there an easy way to have a single package install the others? Is dpkg usually used for this, apt-get, or something else? Thanks (Ben), -Brandon
