Kernel build dependencies for prepackaged modules

2003-07-02 Thread David Z Maze
My kernel module packages (lm-sensors and i2c) both build-depend on kernel-build-2.4.20-1, which provides enough bits to build packages (as far as I can tell, successfully). Problem is, evidence suggests that kernel-build-2.4.20-1 is i386-only. I'm looking at moving to 2.4.21, but kernel-build-2.

Using kernel-build packages to autobuild modules

2002-12-06 Thread David Z Maze
The perennial wart on the side of kernel module packages is that it's a big pain to auto-build modules for the stock kernels. It looks like the 2.4.20 kernel packages now include a kernel-build package, which advertises that it contains everything you need to do module builds. Is there a good way
