Package: kernel-package
Version: 11.001-0.1
Followup-For: Bug #475036
Recently I wanted to rebuild linux-image-2.6.18-6-xen-vserver-686 with
one option changed, but the only way that I have found to do this is
apt-get source linux-image-2.6.18-6-xen-vserver-686
cd linux-2.6-2.6.18.dfsg.1
# use vi to change "# CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP is not set" to
# "CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP=y" in debian/arch/_xen/config
dpkg-buildpackages -b -rfakeroot
and wait for a day while a whole series of .debs are built that do not
interest me.
Surely this is not the way that the kernel team builds and tests
kernels. Or is it? Can you please tell us how they do it?
Until the rewritten version of kernel-package is ready, what should we
do?
