Uploaded kernel-package 3.10 (source all) to master



Hi,

	This version changes the way that user customization variables
 are handled, so please be careful.  The (now consistent) way that the
 variables are handled is that the value of a variable can be set so:
  a) Defaults exist in the rules file. These are the values used if no
     customization is done.
  b) Variables can be set in the config file /etc/kernel-pkg.conf. 
     These values over ride the defaults.
  c) Variables can also be set by setting a corresponding envirnment
     variable.  These values over ride the config file and the defaults
  d) Using make-kpkg options, or, if using the rules file directly, on 
     command line ( # xxx/rules DEBIAN_REVISION=2.0a kernel_image). This
     over rides all the above methods.

     Please let me know what you think of this scheme.

Source: kernel-package
Binary: kernel-package
Architecture: source all
Version: 3.10
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>
Description: 
 kernel-package - Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
Changes: 
 kernel-package (3.10) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * *ALERT*.  Changed how customization variables are handled. All
     variables are given reasonable (IMHO) defaults.  Then the site
     customization file /etc/kernel-pkg.conf is read in, which can
     over-ride the defaults. THEN, the environment/command line variables
     are used to over-ride the values.
   * New env variables: KPKG_MAINTAINER, KPKG_EMAIL, IMAGE_IN_BOOT,
     IMAGE_TYPE
   * new customization variables: kimage, image_in_boot
   * Edited README to give bare bones documentation for user customizable
     vars.
   * Added man page kernel-pkg.conf.5.
   * Normalized existing man pages according to the templates floating
     around on the list.
   * Added copyright statements to the man pages.
   * Documented changes in make-kpkg
   * Added --bzimage option to make-kpkg for completeness.
   * Added a --zimage option to make-kpkg, (with support in the rules file),
     to make a zImage kernel rather than a bzImage kernel (the default).
     Useful for people having problems with bzImage kernels. Suggested by
     Richard G. Roberto <richr@Bear.COM>
