  kpkg always gets the debian arch of the system it compiles for.
  Overwriting this is not allowed.

 See also man make-kpkg:
 
 | The value should be whatever DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU contains when
 | dpkg-architecture is run on the target machine, or it can be an other
 | architecture in a multi-arch set (like i386/amd64).
 
 Which is what we do here.

Sounds sane.


 Anyway, leave the xen stuff disabled if that makes problems for
 you. As said in this bugreport before we probably don't need it.

Good.

  No. The cross compilation stuff is set intern and must not be overwriten
  by the rules.
 
 Yes it must.
 
 We are building for a multi-arch set here and the synatx for that is
 to set the architecture but not to cross-compile. --cross-compile='-'
 does that.

The man page tells:
   --cross-compile foo
  This  is  useful  for setting the target string when you
  are cross compiling. Use the dummy target - if you are
  building for other arches of a multiarch set, like
  i386/amd64.

The supports Goswins view. There is however one negative side-effect:
You cannot crosscompile i386-kernel-package anymore. It might be better
to set --cross-compile to the right value for i386 - but that shouldn't
block application of this patch.



Goswin, I expect you actually tested this patch on an i386, and it
returned proper kernels (i.e. you tried at least one of them).

If so, I think this patch is now in a state where it can be applied.


Cheers,
Andi

 3. How else do you build a kernel for a different arch (amd64) than
 your systems arch (i386)?

 This is how I build m68k kernels on i386/amd64 machines:

 DEB_HOST_ARCH=m68k debuild -B -am68k

 But I guess you want to something slightly different?

 Christian

Exactly. If DEB_HOST_ARCH != DEB_BUILD_ARCH then make-kpkg
automatically adds the m68k-gnu-linux- prefix for cross compiling.

But building amd64 on i386 has to be done native with the
i486-linux-gnu-gcc (or just gcc) as it is not cross-compiling.
make-kpkg has the special --cross-compile='-' to tell it to use the
native gcc even if DEB_HOST_ARCH != DEB_BUILD_ARCH.


Could you apply the patch and check that 'DEB_HOST_ARCH=m68k debuild
-B -am68k' still works? If it breaks something I'm happy to fix
the patch.

Goswin

 Is there any comment on this ? Anyone has any particular stuff they would like

I have patch. Will be 2.6.20, as i was too late for .19.

Yes, to enable hotplug and driver to see that usb device.

Driver is unmaintained a little bit, there is a bug with interpretation
of module parameters, thus i want to push this patch, so users (there are
a little number of us) may use it.

Development tool is controller + programmer + debugger in usb-stick

 I'd like to re-enable building atari images for m68k, 2.6.18 with some
 patches is working on atari again and we might even haven two new drivers
 for network hardware (one of those is working on our uberfast Falcons
 already, they other one might, but we are still waiting for the hardware,
 that's how new it is). Unfortunately I am a little handicapped right now and
 I also managed to shoot down my atari, so it might be a little difficult to
 test, once I have the patches sorted out. This would not change anything
 with the existing m68k images, it would just (re-)add another one, which
 means we have to go through new, but we have to anyhow because of the abi
 change?

Well, if you can send the patches, and they build, they can be included, and
tested at a later time, and fixed if fixing is needed.

There's no reason that 2.6.18-6 would need to be the last kernel upload for
etch, but given that we appear to be bound by an ABI change for LSB reasons,
there is a very good reason to get 2.6.18-6 uploaded sooner rather than
later so that other packages depending on the kernel ABI version (including
d-i) can be updated.

If you have time to get these fixes in by Sven's suggested deadline, I would
welcome them.  Otherwise, I would strongly encourage the kernel team to
push 2.6.18-6 out and defer the amiga changes until -7.

Thanks,

 I should note that this is hopefully the last time we're changing the
 ABI for 2.6.18 before the release, so if you have any bigger config
 changes now's the time (and please test them!).

If the abi needs changing in the near future, well, we will change it,
obviously. I don't think there is a ny excuse for not going for a late abi
bump if a abi-bumping security fix comes in, as we did for sarge. We have very
nice infrastructure in place for that, and the rest of the uneeded work that
still needs to be done manualy is from folk who resisted further automation,
so ...

Friendly,

Sven Luther

 64bit i386 kernels even if that adds time to the build. Live with it.

Please provide patches to our svn packages that enable it. Just demanding
stuff and expecting others to do the work is not nice :)

I'd like to re-enable building atari images for m68k, 2.6.18 with some
patches is working on atari again and we might even haven two new drivers
for network hardware (one of those is working on our uberfast Falcons
already, they other one might, but we are still waiting for the hardware,
that's how new it is). Unfortunately I am a little handicapped right now and
I also managed to shoot down my atari, so it might be a little difficult to
test, once I have the patches sorted out. This would not change anything
with the existing m68k images, it would just (re-)add another one, which
means we have to go through new, but we have to anyhow because of the abi
change?
