Can you elaborate? Do you mean it should go in its own target? > > + +$(MAKE_CLEAN) -C $(DIR) modules_install > > INSTALL_MOD_PATH='$(CURDIR)'/$(PACKAGE_DIR) INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 > > + +$(MAKE_CLEAN) -C $(DIR) modules_install > > INSTALL_MOD_PATH='$(CURDIR)'/$(DEBUG_DIR) > > How about only installing debugging infos in the debugging package? THis would be ideal. Current tools like "crash" don't work with an image that's been stripped with "--only-keep-debug". I'm not sure what strip is removing that crash needs, but I'll look into it. Stripping the modules themselves with "--only-keep-debug" seems to work with crash, but then it saves only a marginal amount of space (from 963 MB down to 926 MB on a 2.6.29 kernel). Similarly with the vmlinux: from 69 MB down to 60 MB. Maybe strip is just confused by something in the format of a kernel module? > > +Package: linux-ima...@upstreamversion@@abiname@@localvers...@-dbg > > +Section: admin > > +Priority: optional > > +Provides: linux-image-dbg, linux-ima...@major@-dbg, > > linux-modul...@upstreamversion@@abiname@@localvers...@-dbg > > +Pre-Depends: debconf (>= 0.2.17) | debconf-2.0 > > +Depends: module-init-tools (>= 0.9.13), coreutils (>= 5.2.1) > > Are your serious? Uhm, yes... Why should I not be? If you're worried about the virtual packages it provides, I'm not partial to them. If the patch needs improvement, I'm glad to improve on specific points, but I don't understand what you don't like about this section. -- +----------------------------------------------------------+ | John Wright <john.wri...@hp.com> | | HP Mission Critical OS Enablement & Solution Test (MOST) | +----------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
