Changes:
kernel-package (8.082) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Bug fix: "Add amd64 support to kernel-package", thanks to Stephen
Frost (Closes: #233252).
* Bug fix: "kernel-image: postrm doesnt remove dangling initrd.img
symlink", thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe (Closes: #233243).
* Add a note in the man page that the clean target should not be cobined
with other targets.
* Bug fix: "/usr/bin/make-kpkg:make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeroot clean
kernel_image after patching sources doesn't work", thanks to
Amit Shah. Since this is now documented, I am closing this report.
(Closes: #233478).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Grub install scripts broken", thanks to
Roland Mas (Closes: #233585).
* Make the sample posthook script executable, to shut up lintian
* Bug fix: "confusing comments in kernel-img.conf", thanks to Jamie
Heilman (Closes: #233184).
* Bug fix: "misspellings", thanks to Matt Kraai (Closes: #233132).
* 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).
