Source: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-23 Severity: normal Since several years back, kernel.org has provided linux tarballs with both 3 part (e.g. 2.6.35) and 4 part (e.g. 2.6.35.7) version numbers in their filenames.
But if genorig.py is run with a 4-part versioned tarball such as linux-2.6.35.7.tar.bz2 it will barf about not recognizing the filename. Confusingly, the script source code supports a file naming with an extra dashed revision, as convention NOT used by kernel.org, even though the instructions clearly say users should use the script only with the upstream tarballs. Please fix this or change the instructions in README.source to warn users that they MUST download a base tarball and a patch (e.g. linux-2.6.35.tar.bz2 and patch-2.6.25.6.whatever) and pass those to the script. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32jbj3.4-47 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Chroot: squeeze chroot running on a lenny system -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
