Hi, kernel-package supports kernel patches, as I learned short time ago. But IMO, it lacks the documentation for this.
If i understand correctly: - patches go into /usr/src/kernel-patches/$arch/$version/apply. - If "PATCH_THE_KERNEL" is set, patches are automatically applied on make-kpkg. But here are some questions: (1) How are patches handled that create new config options in the kernel config? When make-kpkg runs, kernel config usually is already finished - how am I supposed to activate the new options? (2) How can I choose which patches are to be applied? Are all patches applied without me having a chance to choose? (3) Can I see in the created .deb which patches have been applied? (4) Can patches be put elsewhere than in /usr/src/kernel-patches? (5) Where is the documentation about module-hooks mentioned in kernel-package(5)? Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
