That's actually the reason for creating the images. Any idea of how to get Linux mainline isotp kernel module into the Debian kernel? My problem is, that we're using my isotp stuff for many purposes for more than two years now. I'm not far from sending a patch on netdev-ML - but i'm still missing some feedback from isotp-users (like you), if they think the protocol and it's API are mature enough for mainline ... is it? Within the next two month, we will test two telematic devices against socketCAN ISO-TP and raw or J1939 frames. The Debian packages were created to get our test equipment ready. Will report to you on our experience. Thanks! You are also working with j1939 ?? Did you check out the work of Kurt van Dijck in socketcan/branches/j1939? Not yet, but wanted to test it. If sent now upstream, this would possibly end up in 3.0.1 or whatever number the first kernel after 3.0.0 would have, or would it be 3.0.2? Then I could get rid of the socketcan-driver package again, or the J1939 would be included then... If so, it would get into 3.1 Of course one needs to rmmod all CAN kernel modules and load the appropriate svn ones. I would prefer to put an explicit warning into the package description. Better we get isotp into mainline :-) Until then, I think I should clarify this in the package description. E.g. some text like this: WARNING: This package contains experimental kernel modules that might conflict with the mainline kernel modules. You are required to unload all provided CAN modules, before using the kernel modules that are created from this package. If you do not intend to use ISO-TP or J1939 kernel modules, you do not need this package. Ugh, that's hard stuff. I don't think it's a good idea to provide 'pre release' protocol implementations APIs, people build their application on. It's not only the mix of modules but the release of an API in discussion. Of course you can build a debian socketcan-modules for your own purposes, but having this on a 'real' debian repo doesn't look like a good idea. Well, OK, then I will keep socketcan-drivers private, so that we can easily install them (until they are in mainline kernel) and only push socketcan-utils for inclusion.

Re: Upstream looks for a proper way to build the packages by itself
Got answer from debian-python mailing list which didn't appear to get into debian-mentors. Forwarding conversation here: 2011/6/1 Andriy Senkovych jolly_ro...@itblog.org.ua: Hello, Bernd. Thank you for your reply, answers inline: 2011/6/1 Bernd Zeimetz be...@bzed.de: This approach is tested and may be observed on my test site [6]. It allows me to test package building during the same CI process as development because package will be rebuilt on both upstream VCS update and debian package source VCS update. However I'm not the first one willing to perform this so maybe there is a better way to organize this. I'd do it as you've described it above - maybe run it trough cowbuilkder with git-buildpackage. Right, I thought about it as well. Also I'm looking for a scalable in sense of Linux distributions (or even Windows in future) and I'm not sure how to scale current approach. It appears I would need a separate repository for every distro which is not very great I believe. One branch with the proper debian/gbp.conf should be enough, I think. Just make sure you build with a chroot according to the diustro you want to build for using cowbuilder/pbuilder/sbuil/whatyoulike. And here comes the problem: the upstream has one repository, it releases two tarballs(master and slave), which are imported then in Debian git repositories and then built. Note that contents of the tarballs and the subdirs in upstream repo differ. So I cannot actually include the debian work as a separate branch in upstream repo as I would like to do. So currently I see the following ways and both are not looking good: 1) add a Debian branch to upstream. It doesn't make much sense If I'm going to prepare Debian releases because I'll need to do same things twice. But the code base will be in one place and that's good. Hopefully I could manage other distros have their separate branches and find tools useful for this kind of situation. 2) support separate Debian package repositories (in this case 2: master and slave). This means heterogeneous configuration if some distro will use branch in upstream repo. And this means that I could need double number of repositories to support a single number of distros. So its even worse. Maybe I missed something and git-buildpackage could manage first case better than I think? Or is there could be some way to improve git-buildpackage with some generous features to make this situation less painful? -- WBR, Andriy Senkovych -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The plus is that you won't have a huge patch that lists every sinle line of Makefile for removal. The minus side is that dpkg then gives you a line about ignoring the removal of Makefile when building source.
