Hi,
I needed to build the drbd 8.4.6 kernel module for my Debian stable
("jessie") boxes. As a result of which, I found 2 bugs:
1) the built drbd module package ends up depending on drbd8-utils, which
is now incorrect - that should be drbd-utils.
Not really. If you build debian packages from drbd-utils, you also get a
transitional drbd8-utils package (which 'Depends:' on drbd-utils). I
guess an '|'-dependency would not hurt. I will think about that.
A |-dependency would mean that one wouldn't have to install the
transitional drbd8-utils package (which isn't otherwise necessary).
2) the drbd8-module-source_8.4.6-1_all.deb isn't actually buildable -
module-assistant auto-install drbd8
fails to build drbd_buildtag.c
The source package doesn't contain .git (obviously, it's not a git
checkout), but nor does it contain .drbd_git_revision nor
drbd_buildtag.c.
The easiest way is to clone the repo and then do a:
"make prepare_release" and then continue with the resulting
drbd-8.4.6-debian.tar.gz tarball (which contains
drbd-8.4.6/drbd/.drbd_git_revision).
In general you have 3 options:
- Become a customer, we know how to build packages.
- Use a release tarball (or generate one).
- Directly from git: you are on your own and we expect that you know
what you are doing.
I was following the instructions here:
https://drbd.linbit.com/users-guide/s-build-deb.html
Which lead me to believe that clone, checkout relevant tag, run
dpkg-buildpackage ought to work...
Thanks,
Matthew
