Package: kernel-package Version: 12.025 Severity: normal
Bugs #551104 kernel-package: "make-kpkg (binary-arch|kernel_image)" generates xenu pkg #551657 kernel-package: postinst file for xen kernel should be modified have been closed, marked resolved, yet I still see no solution. Therefore, I am filing a new bug report. Following standard proceedure: $ cp /boot/config-2.6.31-1-amd64 .config $ make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image generates linux-xenu-2.6.31_custom.1.0_amd64.deb rather than linux-image-2.6.31_custom.1.0_amd64.deb "It adds in support for Xen DomU, and kernel-package obliges. The only difference, at this point, is in the name of the kernel image, it can be installed and used as a normal kernel as well." This SHOULD create a linux-image-2.6.31 package equivalent to the stock linux-image-2.6.31-1, as distributed. Any other behavior is WRONG as this breaks users' installations and should be fixed. (Perhaps the fix is in the documentation and the standard working proceedure needs to be modified...) Please note that a user compiling a kernel using make-kpkg starting from a standard kernel may not know anything about Xen. Thank you.
