Linux kernel specific documentation for version 2.6.7
This package provides the various readme's in the 2.6.7 kernel
Documentation/ subdirectory: these typically contain kernel-specific
installation notes for some drivers for example. See
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-X.X.XX/Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what
is contained in each file. Please read the Changes file, as it
contains information about the problems, which may result by
upgrading your kernel.

Debian patches to Linux 2.6.7
This package includes the patches used to produce the prepackaged
kernel-source-2.6.7 package. They should be applied to a pristine
Linux 2.6.7 kernel.

Linux kernel source for version 2.6.7 with Debian patches
This package provides the source code for the Linux kernel version 2.6.7.
.
You may configure the kernel to your setup by typing "make config"
and following instructions, but you could get ncursesX.X-dev and try
"make menuconfig" for a jazzier, and easier to use interface. There
are options to use QT or GNOME based configuration interfaces, but they
need additional packages to be installed. Also, please read the detailed
documentation in the file
/usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.6.7/README.headers.gz.
.
If you wish to use this package to create a custom Linux kernel, then
it is suggested that you investigate the package kernel-package,
which has been designed to ease the task of creating kernel image
packages.

Linux kernel tree for building prepackaged Debian kernel images
This meta package is used as a build-time dependency of prepackaged
Debian kernel-image packages. Its dependencies are structured so that a
complete kernel tree with Debian patches applied will be available after
this package is installed. It also contains the upstream changelog file.
.
For those intending to use this package as a build-time dependency, this
package provides a list of virtual packages that guarantees the availability
of a particular Debian revision of the kernel tree. The
kernel-image-2.6.7-i386 package is an example of this.
Changes: kernel-source-2.6.7 (2.6.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release.
.
* Added split patches in dpatch format (Christoph Hellwig and Sven Luther).
.
* Lots of patches merged upstream:
. acpi-link
. console-refcounting
. doc-sound
. drivers-hotplug-acpi-unregister
. drivers-i810-update
. drivers-ide-CONFIG_IDE_STROKE-at-runtime (slight changes, allows drops
the config option completely)
. drivers-mca_53c9x-needs_mca_legacy
. drivers-mtd-sharp-missing-includes
. drivers-mtd-uclinux-rootfs
. drivers-neomagic-ids
. drivers-neomagic-oss-ids
. drivers-paride-epat (with minor updates)
. drivers-pnp-needs-x86
. drivers-scsi-aic7xxx-fixes (slightly different)
. drivers-usb-storage-new-sony-device
. drivers-video-tgafb-needs-selection.h
. drivers-watchdog-missing-includes
. fs-isofs-remove-unused
. include-linux-mca.h-fixups (only partially)
. makefile-wc-fixup
. sparc64-NR_CPUS
. x86-dma-mapping.h-fixups
.
* Dropped some patches (Christoph Hellwig):
. alpha_cia_window - incorrect (closes: #253787)
. doc-initrd_devfs - incorrect, devfs names for initrd are okay
. drivers-mwave_paper_over_sysfs_crap - buggy driver model integration
removed completely upstream
. drivers-net-ns83820-needs-FW_LOADER - incorrect, ns83820 doesn't
load firmware at all
. drivers-scsi-3w-xxxx-no_unregister - incorrect
. export-proc_get_inode - the symbol is internal for a reason. buggy
drivers using it removed in 2.6.7
. fs-msdos-dontbug - rejected upstream
. fs-umsdosfs-crapola - umdos is disconnected from the build in 2.6
. ppc-higher-binutils-requirement - upstream disagrees, Debian uses
dpkg build depencies anyway
. 00_doc-README.Debian - now handled differently by the packaging
.
* Renamed version.Debian to debian/revision, in order to have all Debian
specific bits in the debian directory (Jens Schmalzing).
.
* Added the prune target to debian/rules. It unpacks the vanilla
kernel, removes the tainted bits, and creates a free .orig.tar.gz
(Jens Schmalzing).
.
* Added the monolith target to debian/rules. It saves a copy of the
original kernel tree, then for each revision applies the split patches
via dpatch and creates a monolithic patch (Jens Schmalzing).
.
* Add fs-jfs-compile to fix JFS compilation (Christoph Hellwig).
.
* Package the upstream changelog file, taken from ChangeLog-<release>,
into kernel-tree. The rationale of this being that we should
distribute the upstream changelog in the usual location, but it is
enough to do this once (Jens Schmalzing).

Your package contains new components which requires manual editing of
the override file. It is ok otherwise, so please be patient. New
packages are usually added to the override file about once a week.
You may have gotten the distribution wrong. You'll get warnings above
if files already exist in other distributions.
