Description:
kernel-package - A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages.
Closes: 115884 247782
Changes:
kernel-package (10.004) experimental; urgency=low
.
* 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.
