Package: kernel-package Version: 9.008.4 Severity: minor Hello,
I've compiled a linux kernel from pristine linux sources + linux-patch-debian-2.6.14_2.6.14-4_all.deb as: cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.14 make-kpkg clean [cp the config file from a 2.6.14] echo 35 > .version make-kpkg --rev 36 --added-patches debian kernel-image modules-image debian patches are applied, that is, linux-patch-2.6.14.1 up to linux-patch-2.6.14.3 + debian specific. Everything runs OK, a new deb is generated, BUT: 1) the new kernel name is 2.6.14, it should be 2.6.14.3 to not override existing kernels, and to reflect the fact that the extraversion is .3. Fix: use append_to_version 2) the version as given by uname -a is Linux myhostame 2.6.14 #1 Mon Nov 28 12:39:26 CET 2005 i686 GNU/Linux It seems it should contain compiler signature and other stuffs ? 3) the generated /usr/share/doc/kernel-image-2.6.14/changelog.Debian.gz is done from /usr/share/kernel-package/changelog + the first line modified to reflect the actual version. Shouldn't it be generated from /usr/share/doc/linux-patch-debian-2.6.14/changelog.Debian.gz ? I repeated the same process on the debianised linux-source-2.6.14 and got the same result. So, maybe I missed some point, but how to get that 1) the kernel image is called vmlinuz-2.6.14.3 2) the generated debian file is kernel-image-2.6.14-4 (from version.debian) TIA Pascal Dupuis -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.3 Locale: LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.11.0.1 package maintenance system for Deb ii dpkg-dev 1.13.11 package building tools for Debian ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.0.2-1 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.3 [c-compiler] 1:3.3.6-7 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.4 [c-compiler] 3.4.4-9 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.0 [c-compiler] 4.0.2-2 The GNU C compiler ii make 3.80-11 The GNU version of the "make" util ii perl 5.8.7-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.2-10 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Development Librari -- no debconf information Disclaimer: http://www.kuleuven.be/cwis/email_disclaimer.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
