* [08f81b5]: Remove mention of removed feature of on-the-fly patching
The feature of patching the kernel while compiling it has been
removed, since it was way more trouble than it was worth, did not
play nice with a git repo, and has a n easy work around -- just pre-
patching the source. This commit removes mentioning it as a
supported feature.
Bug fix: "no documentation on how to apply patches", thanks to Felipe
Sateler (Closes: #552521).
* [8969dc9]: Fix description of the --revision option If supplied,
this sets the whole version of the package, not just the Debian
revision. Rather than change behaviour and break people's setup,
made the documentation reflect reality.

* [bcd8cae]: Export an environment variable while running hook scripts
in /etc/kernel When hook scripts in /etc/kernel are run, they have
not way of determining if the script is being run by an official
kernel, or a user created kernel using kernel-package. Matthijs
Kooijman proposed a scheme (details in Bug#523735) which will allow
scripts that need to distinguish between them (like initramfs-tools
scripts) where kernel-package created maintainer scripts export and
environment variable (KERNEL_PACKAGE_VERSION) to help that
determination. This patch does that.

* [3e43617]: Do not try to parse non-existent debian/changelog
Early in make-kpkg execution, we do not not have a ./debian; and are
trying to create it. Therefore, including ruleset/common/pkgvars.mk is
a mistake, since that file tries to parse ./debian/changelog to see
what the old values were. Perhaps pkgvars.mk is now obsolete?

merged around 2.6.24, thus the check should be "amd64|i386)" instead

packages are installed, and cleaning the link up when either of these
packages are removed.
* [04ba4c1]: Make sure that initramfs hook script are safe

Instead, now all that --initrd does is to arrange to convey to the
hook scripts that this image requires an initrd, and that the initrd
generation hook scripts should not short circuit early. Without this
option, the example initramfs hook scripts bundled in with kernel-
package will take no action on installation.
Bug fix: "fails to build initrd and make a non-compliant .deb from

* [fdc8183]: only trigger initramfs removal on 'remove', and not again

out initramfs-tool metadata, we do not care if it actually worked. We
just make the best effort at clean up, but do not let the cleanup
abort the process.

* [55b39b3]: Move invocation of postinst hook scripts after
/etc/kernel/*.d/* scripts A lot of people have update-grub in their
/etc/kernel-img.conf postint_hook setting. If that is called early,
the initramfs invocation in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs has not
yet happened, so the update grub script does not notice the
initramfs, making the system unbootable. Yes, the update grub cant
be moved into /etc/kernel/postinst.d/ too, but this is friendlier.
Bug fix: "postinst hook script (update-grub) ran before

replacing the files normally found in /usr/share/kernel-package. Inn
theory, this should provide all the features official kernel images
might need to use kernel-package, without any formal support from
kernel-package. It should also address the need for any users that
needed to add content to ./debian, and more conveniently than before.

* [0ee9cc3]: Keep modifications to the upstream directory to a minimum
When upstream kernel build system started delting ./debian directory
on clean, we had to start taking making an effort to preserve
./debian, since there was a lot of information in there that was
important to us. So we had a way of diverting the makefile and
scripts away that did the removal of ./debian, and restoring them
when we wanted to. Now that the ./debian directory has become
ephemeral, we only need to preserve it when calling clean during the
buildpackage target, since invoking make-kpkg at any other time
cleans ou ./debian anyway. So we can be more selecting in when we
divert upstream scripts; and thus leave the upstream directory more
like we found it (this makes git happy).
* [2c00231]: Copy all the examples into the kernel image package
Arguably, the examples are more relevant in image directories than
they are in the kernel-package doc directory. There was a error in
the kernel image target, caught by Sedat Dilek.

(Closes: #510298).
* [75423e7]: Export maintainer script parameters to hook scripts
Maintainer script option need to be passed on to the hook scripts,
since there are many ways that the script may berun (for example,
postinst hooks scriopts are called even when the installation is
aborted). This commit adds the maintainer script arguments to an
envronment variable, DEB_MAINT_PARAMS. Updated the example hook
scripts shipped in the documentation to demonstrate how these
arguments can be accessed and used.
* [3409792]: We want while read file; do ... done, not xargs
This will teach me to just take code from bug reports without
thinking. Unfortunately, I added two dummy modules to my config (I do
not use modules), so there was no error with objcopy; and I only
looked at the second module to see if it was stripped :-(

* [c24657f]: Add a "debuginfo" package
This adds support for creating a kernel package which contains the
Linux kernel debug image. This means the debugging information for the

* [123d487]: Get rid of the facility to patch kernel sources
The patch the kernel facility was adding complexity, and failing to
provide the flexibility required for a generic patching facility. It
has been removed, users need to patch the sources _before_ calling
make-kpkg.
* [ce61f77]: Remove special case code for official kernels
Allows for minimal recompiles after minor changes t the kernel; and we
can now recreate ./debian cheaply, so version mismatches are
mitigated.
* [7cc98b0]: Modified the maintainer scripts for the header package
* [ff0f1eb]: Modified the maintainer scripts for the doc package
* [f32d2ba]: Modified the maintainer scripts for the source package
These patches extends the package maintainer scripts to all four
actions, and creates the directories that the hook scripts can be
dropped in for site configuration of the actions that the package
takes.
The link manipulation that the header packages used to do in the
postinst has been removed, and is now provided as an example
script.
* [cdcd478]: Image postinst no longer runs a boot loader
Note that this was already the case for grub, one of the more popular
boot loaders. This allows the image package to be more flexible, since the
end user is no longer restricted to the actions encoded in the image
package. This is a fairly large change.
Bug fix: "mentions of grub on ia64", thanks to dann frazier. This was
a pretty minor bug, but is obsoletre since we no longer run boot
loaders, and thus have no need t warn people os a possible mismatch
with local policy. (Closes: #515138).
* [f8bc553]: The postinst no longer manipulates symlinks
Any symbolic link manipulation must now be done with hook scripts in
/etc/kernel/*.d directories (modern bootloaders don't need the links
anyway). Eample hook script demonstrate how a more flexible local
policy for symlinks can be easily put ihnto place, replacing the
fairly rigid policy previously implemented.
* [84364f0]: The image postinst no longer runs the initrd command
The postinst now just conveys to the hook scripts whether
this particular image was configured for an initial ram image or
not, using the environment variable INITRD. There are example
scripts provided that will perform the task. These scripts will work
for official kernel images as well.
Bug fix: "postrm script leaves stale files in
/var/lib/initramfs-tools/", thanks to Jan Muszynski. The proposed fix
was not good, since it would require kernel-package to muck around
with internal files for initramfs tools. This way, the user may add an
postrm.d script that uses the accepted interface to clean up.
(Closes: #511004).
Bug fix: "make-kpkg should use update-initramfs when

Arthur Marsh. Again, since the kernel does not call any initramfs
creators, be design, this bug is obsolete.
(Closes: #518107).
Bug fix: "Uses deprecated mkinitramfs-kpkg", thanks to Matt

* [ecb2bd3]: make-kpkg removes and re-creates ./debian on every invocation
Bug fix: "Normal make functionality seems broken", thanks to David
Baron. Actually, normal make functionality is not to recreate targets
until there is need, and thus the stamp files are all that needed to
be removed. However, until now, we could not regenerate
./debian/changelog, so the support for minor changes without running a
clean was not feasible. (Closes: #522728).

suboptimal.
* [da0f706]: Handle unusual umask values
(chmod after using sed to create files) If the user has a crazy umask,

* [3f7296a] Handle Xen code configured into modern kernels
When building a current kernel with the in-kernel xen code enabled on
amd64, kernel-package does not recognize this correctly because it
matches on a config variable which apparently is no longer set (or
maybe even was never used in the in-kernel xen code). This commit adds
an extra stanza that adds support for the Xen in new kernels. The
suggestion and bug report were from Michael Holzt. The patch is a

kernel-package (11.003) unstable; urgency=high
* [e12e615] Fix the build system to accommodate XEN changes, use kbuild as far as possible
These are fairly extensive changes. Firstly, we try to use upstream
kbuild as far as possible, to reduce churn as the files upstream
installs change. Some added checks of the Makefile are now in place so
we retain backwards compatibility. This should improve things lot wrt
header files. We also now add dependencies to more packages actually
required to build kernel images.
We also try to look for the kbuild created KERNELRELEASE variable,
which is designed to be used by distros to figure out where modules
are to be loaded from, etc. This should help reduce version
mismatches. We also prepare the kernel.release file early, to help
that.
We also refitted to support the new XEN code in mainstream, in that
the same image can be booted normally or be used as a XEN image. This
support probably needs to be improved.
The make target dependencies have been extensively reworked, to
minimize surprises and wasted effort. We also strip modules, based on
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS (nostrip).
Extra care is now taken so we do not accidentally remove ./debian
while cleaning, thanks to upstream helpfully removing ./debian when
cleaning. This should prevent dpkg-buildpackage from accidentally
shooting itself in the foot by removing ./debian as its first action.
Bug fix: "No such file or directory", thanks to Marc Haber. I am fairly
sure this is fixed. The code around the cleaning has been
thoroughly revamped, and there have been a large number of test runs.
(Closes: #410035).
Bug fix: "kernel-package is suffering from bit rot, and is severely
broken", thanks to Manoj Srivastava (Closes: #475036).
Bug fix: "make-kpkg kernel_image fails on upstream 2.6.23 when
CONFIG_XEN is defined (new Xen paravirt_ops)", thanks to Ben McKeegan
Not only do we handle the normal image package, we should also provide
a working Xen setup. (Closes: #446879).
Bug fix: "Version check compares wrong vars", thanks to Matthijs
Kooijman. Actually, this is ont the case. We do check the upstream
version against our best guess of what whould be the correct string --
and then we ensure what we think is the right thing is what the URS
header thinks is the corect one. In any case, the KERNELRELEASE
changes above make this moot. (Closes: #433217).
Bug fix: "local version not set when config is out of date", thanks to
Matthijs Kooijman. Now we always run oldconfig before we create the
changelog, so things should work OK. (Closes: #432711).
Bug fix: "modules_clean after build with --append-to-version demands

While I am not sure of this fixes some of the nagging problems we have
been facing in recent versions of kernel-package, where we used double
colon rules, which were convenient, sure, but played havoc with
ordering of the rules, and had to have various band-aids to help out
with the ordering. The system was rapidly growing complex, with clear
indication that it was actually faster.
The new target mechanism does away with doublecolon rules, and should
play better with parrallel compilation.

* Bug fix: "/sbin/update-grub is run by default by kernel postrm if it

Depending on what the hook script is meant to do, this may cause a

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: version suffix added when building in git
trees ", thanks to Marcus Better. When run in a git sourced tree,
scripts/setlocalversion checks to see if the tree is the trunk, if
not, it adds version information to the kernel version. It also checks
to see if there are uncommited changes, if so, it adds the string
"-dirty" to the version. Since we change a couple of files in
./scripts/, this falls afoul of the make-kpkg checks, since the
version number is now different from what make-kpkg knows it to
be. Also, there is an additional truncated commit ID added by the
script scripts/setlocalversion whenever it detects that we are not
building from a tagged commit of the official tree, so it might be
just simpler to get rid of scripts/setlocalversion altogether, so we
now move it out of the way in the config phase, and restore during
clean. This allows make-kpkg to be useful for building from got trees
again. (Closes: #406180).
* Bug fix: "powerpc arch problems with 2.4 kernel", thanks to Brendan
O'Dea. For powerpc, handle circular dependency of version number and
KERNEL_ARCH. For powerpc, we need to set the (KERNEL_ARCH) based on
the version numbers -- which we can't get to unless we know the kernel
architecture. Yossarian would have liked this. Use grep to get the
most significant digits of the version number. Use these to calculate
significant digits of the version number. Use these to calculate the
KERNEL_ARCH. Use KERNEL_ARCH to get to the full version. This change
allows us not to drop support for 2.4 kernels on powerpc machines. It
does not impact anything but powerpc, and should not cause a change of
behavior on 2.6.16+ kernels even on powerpc. (Closes: #411038).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: 'applied kernel patches' is missing from

for the <whatever> patch. (Closes: #412463).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: 'kernel source package used:' info in
build.gz is inaccurate", thanks to Norbert Buchmuller. The information
that make-kpkg puts into the buildinfo.gz file with the "kernel source
package used:" description represents the version of the corresponding
{kernel,linux}-source-* package _installed_ on the system, but not the
version of the package that the current source tree was _untarred_
from. (Eg. one untars the source tree from linux-source-2.6.18-6, then
(s)he updates the installed package to linux-source-2.6.18-7, then
builds a kernel in the previously untarred source tree. In this case
the source really used is 2.6.18-6, but it writes 2.6.18-7 to
buildinfo.gz, which is misleading.) (Closes: #412589).

(they do not, in my testing), there is no regression. In the future,
the image and modules packages will be separated, to allow for

means the generated image files should have a versioned dependency on

thanks to Norbert Tretkowski. Added. As far as I can tell, readlink -m
was present in coreutils 5.2.1, uploaded on 14 July 2004, over two
years ago. However, updated the control file for kernel images.
(Closes: #396077).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: fails when a kernel-patch adds a config var
without a default value". Well. It is partially due to kbuild
helpfully reconfiguring the kernel whenever it thinks it is needed.
thanks to Yann Dirson (Closes: #396122).

* Bug fix: "leaves .bak files around after kernel purge, and chokes on
them", thanks to martin f krafft. Well, k-p never generated these
files, and does not actually choke on them. But I suppose we can clean
up after update-mkinitramfs or whatever :)(Closes: #395323).
* Take another crack at handling the ever friendly Kbuild now asking to
update the .config on STDOUT, not STDERR, and bailing when it
discovers output is redirected.

DEBIAN_REVISION for the clean target, and not doing any sanity checks.
We still don't do sanity checks on clean, but we do pass along the
provided debian revision, so warning is no longer triggered.

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Custom .config ignored, m-k clean generates
errors on 2.6.18", thanks to Anthony L. Awtrey. Add an dummy call to
make, if there are problems in the .config, kbuild rewrites .config,
and the informational message messes up the VERSION variable. If the
variable TEST did get a mesage about .config being written, pass it
on. The problem is that any call to make seems to make Kbuild fix

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: failure with 2.6.18-rc4 (wireless-dev

make at the top level like we do to determine the version number
without having a .config file. But it should still be possible to run
clean -- and fail for other initial operations, since we do not want
to create ./debian if we can't detect the version number accurately.
(Closes: #385329).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: please build md5sums for kernel-packages",
thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe. Thanks to Roland Stigge for all
the heavy lifting. I moved the macro definition to a file a location

locations that should be excluded from the MD5sums listing.
(Closes: #261019).

* Make the question about whether or not to run the default bootloader a

though I am open to using the stored value -- but that would mean that
if the admin has changed their mind since the question whether to run
lilo or grub was asked, we would do the wrong thing, perhaps making
the machine unbootable -- which is why the default is still to ask the
human.

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: When overwriting modules, bad suggestion on
moving modules dir", thanks to Dylan Thurston (Closes: #379434).
* With this release of kernel package, changes have been made to the
specification and behaviour of hook scripts for the kernel image,
source, and header packages. Now relative paths can be used to specify
the names of scripts, as long as these scripts live in a "safe" path,
namely, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin. Also, the sanity checking
has gotten more rigorous, failure to find a hook script or failure for
the script to execute correctly is now a fatal error.
* Bug fix: "forces absolute paths in /etc/kernel-img.conf *_hook
variables", thanks to Robert Millan. I elected not to use the patch
provided, since I did not want to blindly trust the PATH variable, and
wanted also to change the ignoring of the return value of the
scripts. (Closes: #380338).
* Bug fix: "linux-image-2.6.16-2-k7-smp: upgrade re-ran lilo", thanks to
Ross BoylanThe default behaviour of the postinst script has been to
run the built in default bootloader (typically lilo) -- set at compile
time, based on the arch. The installed default for Debian, however,
has since moved on to be grub. However, users who are transitioning to
grub may not have set the configuration variable in
/etc/kernel-img.conf --and may still have lilo installed. The trick is
to figure out whether they really want to run lilo. So, if there is no
/etc/lilo.conf, we run nothing. If the user has explicitly asked to
run lilo, we rin lilo. Or if there is no grub, or if there is no
postinst hook script, we run lilo. Or else, we ask the user.

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: make-kpkg "dirties" git kernel", thanks to
Rob Sims. Make sure that make-kpkg clean undoes the changes made in
./scripts. Also, added to the PROBLEMS file the following issue: When
run in a git sourced tree, scripts/setlocalversion checks to see if
the tree is the trunk, if not, it adds version information to the
kernel version. It also checks to see if there are uncommited changes,
if so, it adds the string "-dirty" to the version. Since we change a
couple of files in ./scripts/, this falls afoul of the make-kpkg
checks, since the version number is now different from what make-kpkg
knows it to be. The workaround is to modify the setlocalversion
script. (Closes: #375559).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Phony UTS_VERSION string mismatch", thanks
to Daniel Werner. Actually, the version number contained a +, which is
also a regexp meta-character, so the regexp match was getting confused.

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: localversion* files not supported?", thanks
to Mattia Dongili. It is not that localversion files are not
supported, it is that patches that try to change the version numbering
are not, You see, patches are applied _after_ there is a ./debian
directory, and that means ./debian/changelog is already in place. Re
doing this would require a drastic change in make-kpkg, so now we
document that patches that change package names are not supported.
(Closes: #368539).
* Bug fix: "linux-image-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8: initrd symlink management

looking at the logs posted, it did seem to work in the test (the link
was indeed created). I did spot a typo in the postinst, so I think
this corner case should not arise again. (Closes: #372783).
* Bug fix: "no longer supports images with the same name on 2 arches",
thanks to Martin Michlmayr. Well, no longer is a misnomer, we never
did support multiple architectures for images in the control file.

architectures now. (Closes: #373774).
* kernel-package: arch/powerpc/include/asm symlink is not included in
the *-headers package, thanks to Eddy Petrisor. now we ship all of

* Bug fix: "Support for Xen as a subarch", thanks to Tore Anderson. No
special handling need be required -- with a properly created .config
file, make-kpkg should automatically detect Xen 3.0.1 or 3.0.2, and
appropriately set the arch and subarch variable. (Closes: #346387).
* kernel/pkg/image/postinst (fix_source_link): Clarify that it is the
link target that we cannot see the contents of.
* kernel/ruleset/arches/i386.mk: Add in separate stanzas for a subarch
Xen, versus the normal i386 build. We change boot loader definitions,
dependencies, targets, and image destinations.
* kernel/ruleset/architecture.mk: No longer assume that the presence of
CONFIG_XEN implies the ARCH is also xen; since now the ARCH is i386,
but the subarch is xen.
* kernel/ruleset/common/archvars.mk: Now we include .config earlier, to
allow us to detect xen and uml, and automatically set the arch and
subarch variables based on the configuration file. This help people
like me who routinely forget to give --arch um to make-kpkg, and wonder
why my uml virtual machine fails.

* In 2.6.16, the top level Makefile added a unified local version

kernel-package (10.031) unstable; urgency=low
* Optimize building kernel headers on recent kernels.
* kernel/ruleset/local.mk (kernel-headers kernel_headers) Make
kernel-headers depend on debian/stamp-prepare, instead of
stamp-build-arch, since this means for 2.6.X kernels the full build may
not be needed, with the advent of the prepare target.
* kernel/ruleset/targets/target.mk (debian/stamp-prepare): Added this
target: on new kernels, it merely calls prepare. I wish I could come up
with a non-kludgey way of testing for the presence; I guess calling
make -np |grep would work, but it is simple enough to just test the
version numbers. When it breaks, we'll see. On older kernels it still
calls the stamp-build-arch target.
* Unfortunately, this still does not fix #345939, since we have
$(patsubst %,BUILD/%,$(DEB_ARCH_PACKAGES)) :: BUILD/% : testdir BUILD-arch
Which means that we build the kernels for all arch related packages --
it is hard to follow all the dictums of policy and cherry pick some of
arch related packages _without_ doing the build.
* Now, we moved building the kernel out of the build-arch target, and

* Make the kernel image psotinst more resilient towards errors in
initramfs generators. The old behavior was that the postinst took the
list of generators (either determined based on the kernel version
being installed, or the user's preferences), asked each one of the
listof candidate generators wehther they supported the running and to
be installed versions of the kernel, and then tried the first of the
list of those that answered yes. The new behaviour is not to just stop
at th first viable candidate, but to continue down the list until we
get a generator that succeeds.
* reverse the order of mkinitramfs and mkinitrd.yaird in the dependency
list of the kernel image packages, since then initramfs-tools shall
come earlier in the dependency listing, and apparently initramfs-tools
currently has fewer problems upgrading from older kernel versions that
do not support /sys (like, say, Sarge kernels). The users can still
provide their preferences in kernel-pkg.conf while building, or
kernel-img.conf while installing; all we are doing is changing the
default order of dependencies.
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: make-kpkg ignores the --revision argument",
thanks to Greg NorrisRemoved the calculation of$(debian) from
version_vars.mk, since this is included before the config file is
included, so the latter always over rides the setting of the debian
revision on the command line. Instead, add it to config.mk, since it
is included _after_ the config file is. Also, make-kpkg was not really
passing --revision down to minimal.mk -- oops. (Closes: #345799).

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: latest unstable version breaks linux-2.6
build on amd64", thanks to Frederik Schueler. Now we let the
architecture still be whatever DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU says it should
be. Just set KERNEL_ARCH correctly on amd64/x86_64 machines early, so
that make-kpkg clean does not flake out when there is no ./debian dir.
Accept either x86_64 or amd64 as the architecture, just in case, when
selecting the correct Makefile snippet. So it is perfectly fine to
still say --arch=amd64, like linux-2.6 does (Closes: #344740).
* Bug fix: "[powerpc] k-p 10.00x breaks debconf based /etc/kernel/*.d
scripts like mkvmlinuz", thanks to Sven Luther. Well. In the recent
10.X series, kernel package has started producing image packages whose
maintainer scripts use debconf for user interaction. Unfortunately,
this meant that any hook scripts called in the maintainer scripts for
the image package (update-grub comes to mind), if they wrote anything
at all to the STDOUT, would cause debconf to throw hissy fits, since
it was expecting commands on STDOUT, not random chatter from the hook
scripts.
One solution was to call db_stop before calling the hook scripts, and
redirecting stdout to stderr in hte invocation of the
scripts. Unfortunately, this made any scripts that used debconf
impossible.
So, either we ban scripts that are interactive, or scripts that
scribble on stdout. Since the former makes some functionality
impossible (some scripts can deliver added functionality and
flexibility if they can interact with users), and the latter just
needs a code change, I would prefer to ask packages that provide
scripts to be used in kernel image postinst/postrm to use debconf for
user interaction, and to send diagnostics to STDERR.

* It was pointed out to me that the ability to build third party modules
using make-kpkg and linux kernel headers packages had broken with
recent kernel packages, since the check for whether we were in a top
level kernel source directory failed to take into account if we were
in a header package directory, which is sufficient.
* Additionally, older kernel-package versions appear to want to run
oldconfig in the headers package tree, which failed, since there was
inadequate support for running oldconfig. This has also been fixed,
since all we really need to depend on is a .config file.
* Finally, make-kpkg insists on there being a ./debian directory, and it
makes sense to ship the directory in the source and header packages,
since shipping it means that we also remove the need for
kernel-package to be installed on the target system

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Using dpkg --remove followed by dpkg
--install does not restore the kernel package", thanks to Daniel
Jacobowitz. Also: "kernel-package tells me we're being reinstalled AND
updated". Actually, the installed/updated is just sematics; when you
reinstall a kernel image you are updating it, and vice versa. The
actual problem was that while the symbolic links were removed when the
package was removed, dpkg passed the last-version-configured to the
postinst, and we took that as evidence that the package had been
installed before -- which, while true, did not take into account that
the package was currently uninstalled. The fix is to always see if a
missing symlink needs to be installed, and not touch existing
symlinks. (Closes: #336733, #336517).
* Added kernel/pkg/headers/create_link as an example. The user can install
it in the postinst.d directory to set up the /lib/modules/foo/build
symlink to point to the kernel-headers. This is not needed, since the
kernel-image postinst already checks in the /usr/src/ directory for an
installed kernel headers package.
* Convert the image prerm scripts to debconf as well, the questions are
asked if we try to remove the running kernel image, or if we are
removing a kernel version mentioned in boot loader configuration.
* Have the minimal.mk not overwrite the control or the changelog file.
* Added a whole slew of config files, and updated older ones, to bring

* Bug fix: "using debconf", thanks to Robert Millan (Closes: #115884) * Bug fix: "does not install non-interactively", thanks to Matt Kraai (Closes: #247782) * This fine tunes the dependencies between targets. All of the package building targets are ones that insert themselves into the normal flow of policy specified targets, so they must hook themselves into the stream. That means, in essence, that they must depend on the configure and corresponding build targets (with stamps) and ensure that the prep work is all done before they are invoked. The advantage is that nothing is going to be remade more often than it needs to. It also means we do not need to produce as many stamp files. So, the only dependencies on any of the intermediate targets are targets that have not been registered into the ladder created in rulesets/common/targets.mk * The kernel image maintainer scripts have been greatly changed. Firstly, they now use debconf; and a number of questions have been moved to the config file (create-kimage-link-$version, old-initrd-link, old-dir-initrd-link, old-system-map-link) while others are asked conditionally in the postinst (depmod-error, depmod-error-initrd, bootloader-test-error, bootloader-error). The postinst has also become far less verbose; the users are far better educated a decade after this was written, and there are other sources of information about booting than the postinst of a kernel image. * The preinst also uses debconf. All the questions asked are still here -- we just use debconf to ask the user. Also, the priority, and need to break non-interactive installs was re-evaluated, and the preinst breaks in far fewer cases than it did before. * Second, the postinst gets rid of the code that generated boot floppies and created lilo.conf (that latter was probably illegal under current policy anyway). The do_boot_enable and do_boot_floppy configuration variables in /etc/kernel-img.conf are now invalid. * Also, the source tree is not automatically cleaned; the do_clean configuration variable, and the environment variable CLEAN_SOURCE are now control if the source tree is optionally cleaned after the kernel image package is built.

* Bug fix: "/usr/share/doc/kernel-package seems to contain broken
symlinks", thanks to Thomas Luzat (Closes: #336744)
* This is a major reorganization of the rules file that helps
create kernel related packages. The crusty old mechanism has been
removed, the targets are now streamlined, and the policy mandated
dependencies are now called out into a separate file. This should allow
a future enhancement to allow end users to override the behavior of
kernel-package in a fine grained fashion. Also, separating out the
variable setting for each arch into a separate file should facilitate
the delegation of that file to the person responsible for kernel images
for that architecture. And, separating out the policy mandated targets
into fine grained double colon targets allows people to add in any
additional make targets for a particular architecture, something long
requested.
One of the factors that made the build mechanism so complex was
that the rules file had a dual purpose: Initially, when ./debian was not
present or not populated, it was responsible for populating that, and
then it was responsible for building the kernel packages, incorporating
any user customizations.
Unfortunately, since Make reads all the commands at startup, it
was difficult to incorporate any customizations, but the modularization
of the rules file makes it possible to have two top level files, a
minimal make file whose sole responsibility is to populate ./debian (and
run clean even when ./debian does not exist), and which uses some of the
same variable setting make snippets that the final top level Make file
uses when it resides in ./debian. The task of deciding which top level
makefile to use has now been relegated to /usr/bin/make-kpkg -- which,
if there ./debian is empty or not present, first calls the minimal
Makefile to populate it, and _then_ calls the real ./debian/rules file
to perform the actual task that it was asked. This little intelligence
in make-kpkg allows the minimal makefile, and ./debian/rules, to be far
simpler, and allows them to conform to the standards my other Debian
packages adhere to.
The goal of this release was to handle the bugs in the previous
experimental release, but to create a set of packages indistinguishable
from the ones created before. Pointedly, non-of the minor lacunae in the
Debian kernel image postinst scripts have been addressed yet. Also, the
build process is a little more verbose at the moment than it needs to be.

kernel-package (10.002) experimental; urgency=low
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Problem with kernel_version.mk causes build
fauilure", thanks to Horms (Closes: #335993).
* This is a fairly large reorganization of the directory and file layout
for the package. Instead of a mostly flat directory structure with a
giant monolithic rules files, we are moving towards a more organized
structure, with finer granularity of files, which may in the future
facilitate third party replacement and overriding of parts of the build
mechanism. Also, this reorganization may make the overall structure
easier to see (though it may also result in it being harder to get the
big picture, but I doubt that).
This time around, I am trying to keep substantive changes to a minimum,
so files have just been broken up, moved around, but the package should
still more or less behave the way that it always did (apart from changing
the stem).
* kernel/rules (DEBDIR): Test to see if we have
./debian/kernel_version.mk, since all kinds of other people create
./debian
* Makefile (install): Adjust for the reorganization of the files, since
the source files are no longer in their previous locations. Keep the
destination mostly the same.
* kernel/rules: This is the one file that has faced the brunt of the
changes. Large chunks of it have been moved out into separate chunks
included in this file. The major addition has been are mechanisms to
allow the file to be broken up. The parts removed are
o) dpkg-architecture variable are now moved out to
ruleset/common/archvars.mk
o) The variables set in the file have mostly been moved to
ruleset/local-vars.mk, which shall be further broken up into
smaller parts
o) For example, the per arch variable settings have already been moved
out of ruleset/local-vars.mk into ruleset/architecture.mk -- and
shall be further fragmented into files in ruleset/arches/, so that
it would be easier to delegate ownership to domain experts.
o) The action/rules part of the file have been broken out to
ruleset/local.mk -- and shall be broken out into
ruleset/common/targets.mk (which contain policy mandated targets,
and their dependencies, and ruleset/actual_rules.mk, where the
grunt work shall be done. It may make sense to further divide
ruleset/actual_rules.mk into separate files for images, headers,
doc, and manual packages. At a later stage, actually installing
files into ./debian/tmp-<something> shall be separated out from the
subsequent packaging into separate targets (probably in the same
file), to allow finer granularity for debugging.

* Bug fix: "doesn't install: Internal Error: Could not find image
(/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-xxs1500)", thanks to Martin Michlmayr. Well,
calling kimage vmlinux.srec was breaking the postinst. However, kimage
does not seem to be used anywhere except in determining the next
value, namely, kimagesrc -- so I just added .srec to kimagesrc, and
thus eliminated the need for hacking the postinst. So the fix was
earlier in the build process, and not deferred to the postinst.
(Closes: #333220).
* Acknowledge the changes made for initrd stuff in the NMU
series. Thanks to Sven Luther for the work. I have made some changes,
for example, instead of hard-coding the list of initrd tools one
considers in the installation phase, now one can set that list by
editing /etc/kernel-pkg.conf -- and this replaces the hard coded
list. Of course, the admin at the target location can still over-ride
that list by editing /etc/kernel-img.con (note, not the same as
/etc/kernel-pkg.conf above); this makes things slightly more
flexible. Also, the list of commands does not have to be the fully
qualified path, the postinst and preinst use the PATH variable to find
the commands.
* kernel-img.conf.5: Document the fact that the ramdisk variable can now
be a space separated list of init ram disk creation commands, which
need to also support the --supported-host-version and
--supported-target-version options, just like mkinitrd does. This is
the list tried at installation time.
* kernel-pkg.conf.5: Document the fact that one can provide the default
values for the list by setting INITRD_CMD, but this list can be
overridden by the one in kernel-img.conf.5. However, the defaults are
set to a subset of "mkinitrd mkinitrd.yaird mkinitramfs", the subset
being decided based on the version of the kernel being built, so one
should refrain from setting this manually -- unless one knows what one
is doing.
* kernel/image.postrm, kernel/image.prerm: Added new variable for the
initrd dependency, and also modified the variable ramdisk to be a
space separated list of commands, not just a single command.
* kernel/image.postinst, kernel/image.preinst: Added new variable for
the initrd dependency, and also modified the variable ramdisk to be a

kernel-package (9.008.3) unstable; urgency=low
* ramdisk generation tools now return 2 on --supported-* negative, so we can

Smedegaar and Steve Langasek for proposing this solution, and all others
who discussed this.

tools.

kernel-package (9.008.1) unstable; urgency=low
* NMU with maintainer's permission.
* Implement the new ramdisk generation tool finding plan. Thanks go to
Mattia Dongili for helping me out with the needed perl code.
* Added conflict with older version of the ramdisk generating tools to the
resulting kernel-image package.
* Upgraded manpage to reflect those changes.

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Modules placed in wrong directory when
building user mode linux kernels", thanks to Paul Dwerryhouse
(Closes: #323018).
* Ever since we added section 9 man pages to the kernel-doc package, one
can no longer install two different versions of the kernel-doc package
simultaneously. Since this was deemed to be undesirable, now we have
split off a kernel-manual-X.Y.Z package to provide kernel man
pages. This works for 2.6 kernels, and I hope does not cause issues
for older kernels. Please note that while one may install any number
of kernel-doc packages at one time, only one kernel-manual package is
supposed to be installed at any given time.

kernel-package (9.001) unstable; urgency=low
* The previous solution was only one half of the problem: we had made
kernel_arch available to the maintainer scripts, but had not exported
the variable to the hook scripts that the maintainer scripts run. This
is the second half of that work.
* Bug fix: "/u/s/k-p/image.postinst: $force_move logic recently broke",
thanks to Aaron M.; "kernel-package: symlinks in /boot aren't update
for packages created with make-kpkg", thanks to Itai Seggev. These
are the same bug, and indeed, as Aaron analyzed, were cause by a
misplaced '}'. (Closes: #313312, #312917).
* Thanks to Ubuntu and jbailey, there is now a new variable in
/etc/kernel-img.conf: ramdisk, which allows the admin to choose a
different program than /usr/sbin/mkinitrd for initrd generation.
* Added a few bits and pieces for powerpc64 into the rules file. I am
not sure I understand why one can't ever cross compile powerpc64
images, but I am adding this in for the duration. This work reflects
changes in Ubuntu.

in postinst", thanks to Jurij Smakov (Closes: #309981).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Please disable the version mismatch check
for official kernels", thanks to Jurij Smakov. As all the debian
kernel images are built from the same source, but with different
binary image versions (the binary image version is a combination of
the sub-arch and a variation of the kernel ABI), this check is
erroneously triggered for them, terminating the build. With the patch
builds finish fine. This does so by circumventing a sanity check,
which has some value for the end user. (Closes: #312280).

* Bug fix: "kernel-package incompatible with experimental dpkg", thanks
to Thomas Luzat. The problem is that dpkg-architecture
-qDEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM output haschanged for Linux, resulting in
kernel-package failing to figure out the system time. So, added
DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS, which is only supported in the dpkg in experimental
so far. This ain't ever gonna get into Sarge, but shall be in
Etch. Try to cope with the dpkg released with Sarge, as well as the
future dpkg that shall be in Etch. Discussed with RM, and this was

kernel-package (8.103) unstable; urgency=high
* Bug fix: "make-kpkg: fails to unpatch the source", thanks to martin f
krafft. This was due to recent idiocy in upstream kernel sources,
where the kernel now assumes responsibility of ./debian directory
(despite Debian having used this directory for years). The people in
charge of this code in upstream kernel were not competent enough to
implement the deb target in a fashion that it does not break a
facility that Debian has used for years. Well, all the kernel-patch
packages are affected; since nothing shall unpatch correctly with
2.6.8.1+ kerel versions. It also makes life a pain for official kernel
image developers, since their ./debian is a dorectory that is not
recreated by kernel-package (or the broken upstream code); and at
least one developer has lost an uncheked in custom ./debian dir
It is not as if they needed to claim ./debian, since they do not use
dpkg, and a fix was discussed in August, but no one has seen fit to
implement that fix and solve this breakage -- so now kerel-package
works around this idiocy. This makes this update very urgent.
The generated .debs also do not pay attention to kernel-img.conf (thus
creating a surprise for unsuspecting end users), they do not massage
the build and source symlinks, do not run boot loaders, do not handle
bootloaders that may use initrd in their config, and probably would
end up generating a slew of bugs that can't be fixed in Debian.
(Closes: #270169).
* Bug fix: "make-kpkg doesn't handle CONFIG_LOCALVERSION", thanks to
Michal ô ¬ihaô ù. The only implementation for LOCALVERSION I saw (in
linux-2.6.9-rc3/Makefile), is a broken Makefile
snippet. kernel-package now tries to implement what the documentation
and comment say should be done (Closes: #273147).
* Added support for hook directories. Apart from hook variables that the
local admin may set, there are a set of directories where packages, or
the local admin, may drop in script files. The directories are
- /etc/kernel/preinst.d/,
- /etc/kernel/postinst.d/,
- /etc/kernel/prerm.d/, and
- /etc/kernel/postrm.d/.
If they exists, the kernel-image package shall run a run-parts program
over the directory, giving the version being installed or removed as
an argument, in the corresponding phase of installation or
removal. Since these directories do not exist by default, this should
have no impact on current installations.

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: --append-to-version and modules_image don't
get along", thanks to Daniel Jacobowitz. Starting with kernel version
2.6.X, the build process for third party modules has been modified;
now modules are expected to build in hte kenrel sources dir, and you
set the SUBDIR arg to point to the source for the module itself. This
arranges for the kernel makefiles to do all the boilerplate work of
building/running modpost, dependencies, et cetera. The problem is that
unless the module passes in the same EXTRAVERSION=XYZ argument that
the main kernel build process did, include/linux/version.h shall be
regenerated, with a different value now than when the kernel was
compiled. The only way to avoid this is to make sure the module passes
EXTRAVERSION also; the 2.6 kernel makefile is very enthusiastic about
making sure version.h is up to date. So, make-kpkg now passes a new
parameter, KPKG_EXTRAV_ARG, to the module; the value is either empty,
or a string like "EXTRAVERSION=X.Y.Z". The idea is that you can call
$(MAKE) $(KPKG_EXTRAV_ARG) ... in the modules package and have the
same version.h info as the main kernel image does. (Closes: #233152).

* Disable the "out of the way" warning in image.preinst

1. This is an official kernel (perhaps a substitution in the preinst?)
2. This is an upgrade.
The reason is that when I make bug fix releases that do not change the
ABI, modules compiled for the previous kernel will continue to
work. Unfortunately, the users tend to be scared off by the "out of
the way" warning and end up aborting the install and filing a bug.

since the numbers of kernels linked to, the numbers of streams (2.4,
2.5, -selinux, etc) depend so much on the local install. Instead, the
vanilla symlink policy should be the default, as it is now, but now

contains the kernel version without_ the append_to_version data. This
file won't be updated by the make-kpkg run (make-kpkg creates
version.h if it doesn't exist, but doesn't touch if exists), so the
final kernel will _not_ have the append_to_version data in its version
number. Now kernel-package moans about the file, and allows you to
