Building kernel udebs from kfreebsd-*
Hi, linux-2.6 did the lead with building the kernel udebs straight from the kernel package. With that change we always get current udebs for use in the installer. Also it's much easier from a release management point of view if you do not need to get all the udeb source packages rebuilt for the latest kernel update. Would there be a volunteer to implement that for kFreeBSD too? It could be as easy as calling kernel-wedge post-build, but at least for linux-2.6 changes to kernel-wedge were necessary[1]. I guess the best starting points would be the existing kernel udeb source packages and bwh's changes to linux-2.6[2]. Kind regards and thanks in advance, Philipp Kern [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2011/09/msg00017.html [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2011/09/msg00018.html -- .''`.

Hi Philipp, 2011/11/5 Philipp Kern pk...@debian.org: Would there be a volunteer to implement that for kFreeBSD too? It could be as easy as calling kernel-wedge post-build, but at least for linux-2.6 changes to kernel-wedge were necessary[1]. Nice idea and thanks for the tip. I implemented this for kfreebsd-10 (being uploaded as I write). For kfreebsd-9 maybe it's better to wait a few days since it'll have to go through NEW soon (upstream 9.0 release). And for kfreebsd-8 it would interfere with TERM=xterm transition (see #647672), I'd rather not touch it for now. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
