Re: Links in kernel-headers packages

[Horms <horms@verge.net.au>]

You can control what happens in make-kpkg using some hooks provided
by make-kpkg. The 2.6.8 kernel makes of one of these to
add the files you are talking about. I have attached the script to
this mail for your referece. To use this make-dpkg is invoked as:

HEADER_CLEAN_HOOK=header-install make-kpkg ...

Please note that the attached script is prefilted to replace @kbpkg@
with the kernel kernel-build-package version, kernel-kbuild-2.6-3.
