[#599018 debian-faq] Section 10 (Debian and the kernel) is woefully out of date
Hi,
I'm looking to work on this long standing bug against debian-faq:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=599018
I would appreciate a review, since the bugreport is more than 5 years old:
is this all still relevant/true ?
Quoting the bug submitter:
10.1: The libc kernel headers are no longer in libc6-dev; they're in
linux-libc-dev.
10.2: The recommended way to compile the kernel into a Debian package is
now to just run "make pkg-deb" after configuring it. kernel-package is
no longer used for the official kernel packages, and tends to be overly
complex.
10.4: modconf and /etc/modules.conf are deprecated and shouldn't
actually get used anymore. The list of modules at boot-time is still
/etc/modules but it rarely needs to be touched. Module-specific
configuration is now done in /etc/modprobe.d.
Thanks
Holger
