NOTE: The patch will not work for Jaunty, etc., unless some files are added to the web server setup that the Builder docs describe. In particular, you need to have a "linux-libre" directory in your web root directory that contains the relevant files from the linux-libre project[1]. E.g., the user should be able to access http://localhost/linux-libre/deblob-{2.6.28,check,main} Since builder will have to re-run the time-consuming deblob-main several times, I recommend running deblob-main manually, so as to generate a bzipped tarball. Then uncompress, recompress with gzip, and install it so that it can be accessed as: http://localhost/linux-libre/linux-2.6.28-libre3.tar.gz (Perhaps there are already such compressed tarballs that you can just download, convert to a .gz, serve up with your web server, and have it all work out OK.) Finally, specify that URL in config.local like this: LINUXLIBRE_TARBALL_URL=http://localhost/linux-libre/linux-2.6.28-libre3.tar.gz Sorry for neglecting to mention these things before--happy hacking!
