Hi all,
I perfectly understand your position but as i said before, it seems to me
that this is the procedure selected by Dann (but maybe i missed something).
I do not disagree with that approach (keeping the same kernel for
everything) and Dann did a great job in creating scripts to ease the
creation of new Debian packages.
To change that, more work has to be done, i do not feel confortable doing
that without a strong collaboration with Dann (i am only a contributor, i am
not here to brake everything in sis-debian) and actually i do not really
have the time for that right now.
To summarize, i have to admit that currently i only want something that
works on Debian and that can be used in OSCARonDebian. If you want to modify
the way stuff are done on Debian, please also contact Dann, he is still _the
guy_ for sis on Debian (but i will be happy to participate to any
discussions/modifications). Currently I focus on creating usable packages,
nothing more.
Sorry to not be able to give a more constructive answer but as i said, i am
still a new contributor in the project, i do not think i can really reply to
this kind of questions.

Oh, sorry then...

This actually shows one weakness of our approach: if you want to produce a
special kernel module for a particular systemimager version, you'll need
to
somehow produce the patched kernel source tree and build your module
against
it. Having something like a systemimager-kernel-devel package would be
helpful
in such cases. Not sure whether a patched and configured kernel tree is
just
made with some simple "make" target...
