Hello, I plan to create a source tarball of the Debian Linux kernel with patches already applied in oder to build a kernel, based on Debian kernel sources, on other, non-Debian based distros.
As far as I can tell I must do it the following way. - Download linux-2.6_[version].orig.tar.gz - Download linux-2.6_[version]-[patchlevel].dsc - Download linux-2.6_[version]-[patchlevel].diff.gz - Running dpkg-source -x linux-2.6_[version]-[patchlevel].dsc This produces the directory linux-2.6-[version]. Patches aren't applied yet and can be found at the subdirectory debian/patches. To apply the patches I run - fakeroot debian/rules source Now I can see that the patches are applied. According to http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html the patched kernel source is now at debian/build/source. So all I must do is to create a tarball of that subdirectory. Am I correct so far? Regards, Henry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
