Hi, various regressions have happened lately. "make build_all" doesn't
get around this issue any more. Also, changing udeb sources doesn't
work anymore, "USE_UDEBS_FROM=unstable make build_netboot".
I've ended up having to implement a couple different ugly workarounds
to keep my testing snapshot builds going while various things change.
I've had enough frustration dealing with those that I've decided to
come up with a "real" solution.
The core issue is that KERNELIMAGEVERSION is a hardcoded value in the
arch config files, so its currently stuck at squeeze's version. Thus,
the solution is simply to parse that value from known package info
instead.
Attached is a patch that does that for review/feedback.
Best wishes,
Mike
