-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Format: 1.7 Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 14:05:06 -0500 Source: kernel-package Binary: kernel-package Architecture: source all Version: 8.103 Distribution: unstable Urgency: high Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Changed-By: Manoj Srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Description: kernel-package - A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages. Closes: 270169 273147 Changes: kernel-package (8.103) unstable; urgency=high . * Bug fix: "make-kpkg: fails to unpatch the source", thanks to martin f krafft. This was due to recent idiocy in upstream kernel sources, where the kernel now assumes responsibility of ./debian directory (despite Debian having used this directory for years). The people in charge of this code in upstream kernel were not competent enough to implement the deb target in a fashion that it does not break a facility that Debian has used for years. Well, all the kernel-patch packages are affected; since nothing shall unpatch correctly with 2.6.8.1+ kerel versions. It also makes life a pain for official kernel image developers, since their ./debian is a dorectory that is not recreated by kernel-package (or the broken upstream code); and at least one developer has lost an uncheked in custom ./debian dir . It is not as if they needed to claim ./debian, since they do not use dpkg, and a fix was discussed in August, but no one has seen fit to implement that fix and solve this breakage -- so now kerel-package works around this idiocy. This makes this update very urgent. . The generated .debs also do not pay attention to kernel-img.conf (thus creating a surprise for unsuspecting end users), they do not massage the build and source symlinks, do not run boot loaders, do not handle bootloaders that may use initrd in their config, and probably would end up generating a slew of bugs that can't be fixed in Debian. . (Closes: #270169). * Bug fix: "make-kpkg doesn't handle CONFIG_LOCALVERSION", thanks to Michal Čihař. The only implementation for LOCALVERSION I saw (in linux-2.6.9-rc3/Makefile), is a broken Makefile snippet. kernel-package now tries to implement what the documentation and comment say should be done (Closes: #273147). * Added support for hook directories. Apart from hook variables that the local admin may set, there are a set of directories where packages, or the local admin, may drop in script files. The directories are - /etc/kernel/preinst.d/, - /etc/kernel/postinst.d/, - /etc/kernel/prerm.d/, and - /etc/kernel/postrm.d/. If they exists, the kernel-image package shall run a run-parts program over the directory, giving the version being installed or removed as an argument, in the corresponding phase of installation or removal. Since these directories do not exist by default, this should have no impact on current installations.
