Right, but these files are no longer there for 2.6.12. So they are not required anymore, it seems? As far as I can tell, in 2.6.12 amd64 images build happily with default flags... Or is it some new flavour (pure 64-bit?) which is planned?
Current system is definitely not flexible enough. I have remote plans to allow setting of various build options (most importantly, options to make-kpkg calls) on per-flavour basis, allowing to control them from Makefile.inc. Is it something like this you have in mind? All I want to do is avoid needless duplication of effort.
It is currently included. However as it is only created during the kernel image build,You have not read the makefiles. It is built in the prepare target for any expect the two names architectures.we have to check after building every flavour and copy it in place, if necessary. This is done in build-stamp-$(subarch)-% target in debian/Makefile. What do you have in mind?I'll remove that hack in the near future as it will not longer work in -4.
I'm trying to figure out what is the alternative... Currently asm-offsets.s files are included in the common arch/subarch linux-headers package. The problem is that we are building this package (using make-kpkg) in a directory, where the full kernel build was never performed. make-kpkg does not, to the best of my knowledge, generate this file while building the linux-headers package. Do you plan to run the 'prepare' target in this directory before that? Then it might be a problem with getting make-kpkg to actually include this file in the package. Any other options?
