linux-2.6 is not buildable on this arches.

I understand that is the current situation. But I think that the idea is
to merge the arch-specific headers package. This would lead us with a
common kernel-headers-2.6.12 package across all arches, and then
per-flavour kernel-headers-2.6.12-flavour packages, which are largely
symlinks. Do you think there is a reason this should not be done?

Notice that 2.6.12-2 will also have a flavours file in the common header
(currently but we should move it to this metapackage probably), which lists
all flavours which were build for the arch.

Nope, it is arch: any, so there will be a version of it for each arch with the
right asm-xxx stuff.

That sounds fine to me. The only (slight) down side is that it would
need to include all of the asm-XXX directores, where as the arch
specific ones usually only contain asm- and asm-generic.  So the
install side would increase a bit. But the packaging complexity would
decrease, and thats a win IMHO.

That'd be perfect for my use. 
Module autobuilding package could then use identical build-depends
across all archs and be arch: any themselves.

linux-headers-2.6.12-1--all
 -> linux-headers-2.6.12-1-i386-all
 -> linux-headers-2.6.12-1-powerpc-all

Does that work?

Now that waldi has gencontrol.py creating dummy packages and rules for
the various linux-image and linux-header packages, we can throw the
all-headers package back in.  There was some issue of what it should
actually be called, however..  Calling it linux-headers-2.6.12-1-i386
doesn't work too well for all archs, since we end up w/
linux-headers-2.6.12-1-powerpc, which conflicts w/ the name of a flavour.
Suggestions?

2005-08-08 Thread Max Vozeler
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.12-1
Severity: wishlist

There used to exist packages that depend on all -headers packages for a
particular arch (eg. kernel-headers-2.6.11-1-i386). This is very useful
for build-depends when autobuilding external module packages. 

Such packages seem to no longer exist with the new kernel packaging -
please consider to re-add something like it.

Max
