Bugs against the linux-2.6 source get ignored or you get comments like "breaks cross building" and any request of the error or a build log gets ignored. > What we really need is a strategy where you work better with the kernel team, > where we have more communication (also applies to Bastian), and where the > stated goal of kernel-package is to build both older kernel and the kernel > packages. > > This would be a good starting point to take Jonas idea again, and move the > postinst scripts out of kernel-package and the linux-images, and into > separate package ? > >> Even then, I would respond to bug reports which show >> misbehavior by kernel-package -- which have not exactly been >> forthcoming, have they? >> >> manoj >> tired of people trying to bend k-p into doing things it is not >> supposed to do, and then complaining when they fail > > Well, to be honest, it goes both way. I think the blame is much more on the kernel team than manoj. He doesn't have a crystal ball to see linux-2.6 problems relevant to kernel-package. The team has to report them first.
